If you haven't logged into our Volunteer Central data reporting system lately, please do!  Try entering some of your volunteer hours.  Can't find your project?  Search for it in the system.  If you still cannot locate it, reach out to the MSUE contact on your VC Dashboard.

The 2023 hours requirements are 20 volunteer hours and 10 education hours but be sure to check your hour goal in Volunteer Central in the event you are catching up on previous hours, too.  Note: Trainees need to achieve 40 volunteer hours to become certified.  All hours, EMG or trainee, must be reported prior to December 1, 2023, in order to be eligible to re-certify in January 2024. 

We plan to update our MSU Extension Master Gardener webpages to be more user-friendly and informative to MSU Extension Master Gardeners® and those interested in our program.  Thanks for your patience as we do this!
