Become a 4-H Leader

Sharing your talents

You have a lot to give.  After all, you have years of life experiences.  Now's your chance to share your knowledge and talents with young people, our future leaders.  

Experiences you'll never forget

You'll be able to meet new people and travel to interesting places.  4-H volunteers have many opportunities to attend conferences, get training and learn new skills.  

Flexibility to fit your interests

Do you like bird watching, cooking, gardening or working with animals?  There are many interesting projects and fun things to do as part of 4-H.  It's not just a program for farm kids.  You can have fun with kids, and learn right along with them.  

Pride in learning

Imagine a young person's satisfaction at learning a new skill, at doing a job well.  Imagine your own satisfaction at watching a young person blossom.  You can help our young people as they gain self-esteem - an essential ingredient for happy, productive citizens.
