The Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners recognized April 19–25, 2026, as Extension Services Volunteer Appreciation Week. The commissioners approved the official proclamation at their meeting on April 21, 2026.

Extension Services Volunteer Appreciation Week celebrates the important role volunteers play in helping our community. UF/IFAS Okaloosa County Extension Services is proud to work with many dedicated volunteers. These include 4‑H volunteers, Florida Master Gardener Volunteers, life skills volunteers, agriculture volunteers, and natural resource volunteers.

Our volunteers continue to learn new skills, share knowledge with others, and help make Okaloosa County a better place to live.

Thank you to our past, present, and future Extension Services volunteers.
