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.

North Dakota 4-H Volunteer Handbook
North Dakota 4-H Volunteer Handbook
Thank you for volunteering for the North Dakota 4-H Youth Development Program! Please use the ND 4-H Volunteer Handbook to deepen your understanding of 4-H as a volunteer, the opportunities 4-H offers and how high-quality 4-H programs are intentionally designed to promote youth engagement.
There are many ways to participate as a 4-H volunteer: from leading a club, to teaching youth new skills, to judging a 4-H competitive event.
This handbook explains WHO North Dakota 4-H is, HOW the organization achieves positive outcomes for youth, WHAT you can do to effectively empower youth to reach their full potential and WHERE you can serve and grow your skills as well.

ND 4-H County Ambassador Advisor Handbook
ND 4-H County Ambassador Advisor Handbook
Counties in North Dakota have the opportunity to provide a 4-H county ambassador program for older youth who are interested in participating in county events and gaining new leadership responsibilities. These ambassadors should meet as a group at least once a month to plan group and county 4-H events, engage in service-learning, and take part in leadership development activities. This group also provides a positive social opportunity for older 4-H youth.
This group is led by at least two 4-H county ambassador advisers. 4-H county ambassador advisers have the opportunity to work with the 4-H youth leaders in their county. 4-H county ambassadors need adult advisers who will work with them, advise them, and help them accomplish their goals. This guide is a resource for those advisers.
Shooting Sports
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.
