Become a 4-H Volunteer Leader

Community volunteers are the backbone for a successful county 4-H program. They have an important role in encouraging and guiding youth in learning important life skills and development. Because of their direct involvement with youth, an application process is required by the state. It includes:

• Criminal Background Screening
• Annual Training
• Enrollment in 4HOnline

Upon application approval, the county 4-H Agent will help you get started with your club. You will work closely with your county 4-H Agent and will be connected to other county club leaders for additional support throughout the year. You will also have the opportunity to participate in district and state volunteer leader association meetings to further your knowledge and experience in 4-H programming.

Roles and Responsibilities

• Communicate openly with your county 4-H Agent about club plans and needs
• Make arrangements for meetings
• Ensure supplies and materials are available
• Assist youth in developing life and project related skills
• Ensure 4-Her's are being recognized
