Volunteer with 4-H

Work in partnership (adults and youth) to lead 4-H clubs, activities, and events

Who can be a 4-H Volunteer?

Parents and other interested adults over the age of 21 who are willing to volunteer part of their time and skills to teach youth in their community can be 4-H leaders and volunteers.
