SUMMARY:Start Your 4-H Volunteer Journey Virtual Information Session
DESCRIPTION:University of Maine Cooperative Extension will host a two-part online informational session for adults interested in becoming Maine 4-H volunteers from 6-7 p.m. on November 12 & 19. \n“Start Your 4-H Volunteer Journey” will provide participants with information about the UMaine Extension 4-H youth development program through four short e-Learning modules.
