THANK YOU to our adult volunteers! We have an amazing response and have many volunteers working through the 4-H training program right now. We do have room for more, if you are interested please let us know.

I don't know the first thing about 4-H, I can't be a leader!!

That's ok! And, you also don't have to be an expert in a particular project topic either (for example, you don't need to be a photographer to lead a 4-H photography project). By following the provided project resources, learning along with your members and involving others, there is no limit to the variety of 4-H clubs or projects you can run!

Develop a caring relationship with members.
Create a safe environment for 4-H members.
Provide opportunities for youth to build skills
Create opportunities for youth to value and practice service to others.
