Teen Leaders

Below, you will find a link to the application to be a Teen Leader for 4-H@UMaine 2020!

Teen leaders are crucial members of our team for this event! As a teen leader, you will help in the planning stages and have the opportunity to act as a mentor for the younger participants.

Teen leaders will again have a slightly different workshop track at the event to introduce you to the college experience, but will still participate in two of the other workshops being offered.

Eligibility:

Must have attended at least one 4-H@UMaine weekend. Must be at least in the 9th Grade or 14 years old by March 1, 2020. Must enroll as a 4-H member (even if this is your only 4-H activity).

Expectations:

Attend all meetings/training before and after 4-H@UMaine 2020.
Fully understand and successfully carry out assigned roles during the event.
Actively participate in all meetings/training/event activities.
Actively support and mentor youth event participants.

You have until April 3rd to complete the online application or send a completed paper copy to 4HatUMaine@maine.edu to be considered. The planning committee will review all applications and contact references. Selections for the Teen Leader Team will be announced the week of April 20th.
