CLUB LEADERS AND VOLUNTEERS

What does a 4-H Club Leader do?

Club leaders are caring adults with special knowledge and interests in various topics. Clubs can truly be about anything educational from leadership to sewing to photography to public speaking and so much more. All club programs are hands-on, educational, and provided at a low-cost or FREE. Clubs must meet a minimum of 6 hours a year to be eligible to register as a 4-H club and must have a minimum of five members from three or more families. Clubs are fully managed by adult volunteers and supported by the Albemarle/Charlottesville Extension Office and 4-H Extension Agent. Each Club requires a minimum of 2 Trained Adult Leaders. Project Group Leaders are volunteers in Community Clubs

Short Term or One Time Volunteers
