4-H clubs belong to the families within our community

Future flourishing clubs owe their success to dedicated adult volunteer leaders! Cooperative Extension's 4-H staff train and work with dedicated volunteers who contribute their time, talents and resources to maintain and expand the 4-H program. Our volunteers help encourage and involve youth in educational learning experiences that lead to positive youth development.

Because of our volunteers, 4-H youth are having fun learning new things and gaining new skills. We are proud of their accomplishments. The future of our community, state and nation is in good hands!

4-H Project Leader

 Volunteers guide 4-H youth in learning by doing in a particular interest area. If you have a special skill or interest (such as photography, clothing, gardening or other project areas) you may assist at club meetings and/or at special activities (such as 4-H Project Day, 4-H day camps etc.).

Teen Volunteers 

Some clubs have teen leaders who are also 4-H members. Teens develop their leadership skills and gain experience by assuming responsibilities for project groups or club games or activities under the guidance of an adult leader.
