Learning Center
We use the eXtension system to deliver interactive courses, on-demand. You can take the courses on a computer or using a mobile app, which allows you to take the courses offline as well.
In addition to the required volunteer training, we offer additional courses in eXtension at no cost for California 4-H members, volunteers and staff.
Required Courses for Volunteers
All volunteers are required to complete courses to complete their enrollment as new or returning volunteers in the University of California 4-H Youth Development Program.
