How do I become a leader?

To become a leader, you will need to stop by the Cassia County Extension Office and visit with the 4-H Program Administrator.  At that time you will be given a leader application, reference check as well as filling out a background check (the cost is $10.00 for the background check at your expense).  Once this is all taken care of, you will attend a two hour scheduled training on being a leader and child protection. Not only do we need to protect the youth, we need to protect you as well.

Every new leader is required to fill out an application, have references checked and have a background check before they can take a New Leader Training and Child Protection Training Class. Please contact the Extension Office for more information. All leaders are expected to attend six leaders council meetings a year and attend yearly Civil Rights and Child Protection Training which will be held prior to Leader’s Council starting in March.  The meeting in July is mandatory for the leader of the club, or a responsible adult to attend.
