"What makes my heart feel good is seeing kids achieve things they wouldn't unless you were there to help them through it...
4-H helps us grow our kids - to make them community minded and know how to handle life."
          -4-H volunteer

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, trainings and learn new skills.

Flexibility to fit your interests
     Do you like birdwatching, 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.

"I've liked the opportunity to meet new people and teach young people the skills I've gained through years of experience.  Also I've liked being able to spend quality time with my own children."
           -4-H volunteer

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.

"Because of this wonderful program, I have gained skills plus memories and friendships that will last a lifetime."
