4-H volunteer leaders are awesome
The 4-H program
relies on volunteer adult
leaders to organize and lead
groups of 4-H members. Re
search shows that youth who
have a non-parental adult as
a friend, teacher, and mentor

such an adult presence. As
a 4-H leader and educator,

influence. You can channel
members’ curiosity, inspire
new interests, and continu
ally offer new opportunities
for them to grow and de
velop into happy and pro
ductive adults. You can be
the key to a young person’s
success.
A recent study
showed that most 4-H lead
ers volunteer because they
are interested in making a
difference in the lives o f
young people. While some
4-H leaders have expertise
in a particular content area,
such as animal science, it is
not a requirement. The 4-H
program is always looking
for quality, committed adult
volunteers. If you are inter
ested in exploring becoming
a 4-H volunteer, call or visit
the extension office.
Studies show that
each 4-H volunteer gives
an average o f 200 hours of
time annually to the 4-H
