The Volunteer Tracking and Training System is currently being piloted by the following parishes: Livingston, West Feliciana, Rapides, Avoyelles, Morehouse, Richland, DeSoto, Bienville, Lafayette, St. Martin, Terrebonne and Ascension. If you are a volunteer in one of these parishes, you may register for and begin using the system. This online resource will be available to ALL Louisiana volunteers in December 2009.
This system has been created to allow volunteers to track and monitor their education and service hours. By registering in the system, you will be able to enter and track the educational hours you complete. This includes anything from the Volunteer Orientation to marketing 4-H or any other trainings or education you may receive. You can also track your volunteer service hours. You will be able to record impact statements, personal touch stories and the number of people you reached by volunteering. By using the system, you can document your mileage driven and your unreimbursed expenses for personal tax purposes. This hopefully will be a great tool to assist 4-H volunteers.
By registering in the Volunteer Training and Development System, you will also gain access to the Louisiana 4-H Volunteer Continuing Education site. This Web site is designed to give volunteers education and training from the comfort of their own home or office. Through this site, volunteers will be offered online educational modules. These can be taken for your own educational benefit or for advancement in the Master Volunteer Program (MVP). Resources available through the site include: the 4-H Volunteer Orientation, Master Volunteer Program Educational Modules, Going Camping Educational Modules and much more. You will also be able to communicate with other volunteers from around the state to share your ideas and thoughts.
We hope you are as excited as we are about our new advancements for volunteers! Please check out our system at: http://www2.lsuagcenter.com/4H/mastervolunteer.
