Extension Homemakers Clubs

There are lots of choices awaiting you when you decide to volunteer. Volunteers are needed by just about every organization, so it is up to you to select the best way for you to get involved.

You can offer your services:

to help a particular cause;

to help a particular client group;

to help a specific organization; or

to share a skill you have.

The Cooperative Extension Service works with a diverse group of adults and has some creative outlets for volunteering. If you are interested in learning at the same time the Extension Homemakers organization provides that opportunity. It is one of the largest non-profit volunteer organizations.

Volunteers have the opportunity to meet with an organized group in their community. Groups meet monthly for educational programs. There are over 650 clubs in Arkansas and they are all participants in community service. These clubs contribute thousands of volunteer hours each year to community service projects in their own communities and across the state.

There are five Extension homemaker clubs meeting in communities throughout Nevada County.
