This course combined with face-to-face training and ongoing learning opportunities demonstrate our appreciation of your commitment to serve youth.
Volunteers are vital to 4-H Youth Development. They support the mission of 4-H to teach others and to enhance personal growth.
Many volunteers get involved in activities unfamiliar to them. Using resources available, a volunteer can gain a working knowledge of 4-H. Volunteers can become guides and resources to youth developing a partnership, which together, builds skills for the youth and adults! Volunteers are needed to work with youth or in a resource position within
4-H.
