Did you know April is National Volunteer Month? It’s a time dedicated not just to celebrating volunteers, but also to raising awareness about the importance of volunteering and the powerful role it plays in shaping strong, connected communities. At Codington Connects, we’re using this month to highlight how anyone, regardless of age, background, or experience, can make a difference. Whether you’re new to volunteering or have been involved for years, this is a great time to explore how even small acts of service can create lasting change in Codington County.
Volunteering isn’t just about lending a hand, it’s about building a better world, one act of kindness at a time. Whether it’s mentoring a student, delivering meals, organizing community events, cleaning up public spaces, or simply offering a listening ear, volunteers play an important role in making our neighborhoods more connected, compassionate, and resilient.
Every hour spent volunteering helps make Codington County a better place. Volunteers help keep programs running, support local nonprofits, and bring ideas to life that otherwise might not be possible. From youth mentorship to event planning, there are opportunities for everyone to contribute.
