4-H Volunteers

The quality of a youth's 4-H experience, to a large extent, depends on the relationship built between the 4-H members and their volunteer leaders.

Shooting Sports

All instructors are trained by state instructors certified to teach courses.  Adult volunteers receive training in shooting sports at state and regional workshops to become qualified instructors.  4-H teen leaders may wish to assist with instruction.  Shooting sports leaders act as role models and must impart the 4-H philosophy and youth development objectives to 4-H members.
