Your Extension agent will determine what may be counted as work time. Turn these in on a regular basis, preferably every month. Agents may appoint a MG to keep track of volunteer hours. The county program may also provide recognition for your contributions. Reporting also helps ensure that CES will continue to be able to offer the EMG program.
Time sheets provide a record of the many ways MGs serve the public.
Local and state government officials, which help fund Extension, are very interested in how effectively Extension uses tax revenues. Detailed time sheets that report hours, programs, the number of people reached, and success stories are valuable for program documentation. Recertification Certification is good for one year only. After you complete your required volunteer work time, you may choose to continue volunteering with the EMG program. Some MGs take more than a year to complete their initial 40 hours.
