A few weeks ago I hosted a quite large 4-H event and had a volunteer ask me, "How do you get so many people to volunteer?"

My response was this, "Well, when people realize how incredible 4-H is, they can't help but get involved."

This week I've spent a great deal of time tabulating the numbers of my activities for my tenure documentation and this volunteer's question has been on my mind. I didn't realize until this week that I actually do have a volunteer recruitment strategy. I've never written this strategy down or explained it to anyone. It's just something I've got ingrained in me and I feel like I should share it with you.
