4-H Volunteers are a key component of the 4-H program, which focuses on citizenship, leadership, and life skills development using a "learn-by-doing" educational model.
With each volunteer comes knowledge, experiences, and skills taught to 4-H youth and shared with the 4-H program. No matter your background or expertise, you can join the 4-H community.
As a parent, a project leader, or any other leadership capacity, you can offer your unique talents and perspectives. You decide the level of involvement that fits your skills and schedule, such as:
