Many reasons! It offers you leadership experience and training, provides a great addition to resumes, and allows you to learn with and from your peers and friends, all while having fun.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re excited to have a couple workshops specifically for teen leaders this year! Teen Leaders will work together in a leadership workshop, be introduced to leadership opportunities at the college level, and join youth participants for a 4-H workshop of your choice.<\/p>\n
Teen Leaders are very important to the 4-H@UMaine experience. They introduce the event to youth participants, engage attendees in fun games and activities, and introduce visitors and speakers to the event.<\/p>\n
Nope! You just have to have attended 4H@UMaine as a youth participant at least once and be ready for a new experience, and be willing to work with other teens, 4-H staff and volunteers from across the state.<\/p>\n
We want you to bring energy, excitement, and openness to trying new things! Previous leadership experience is awesome, but not required.<\/p>\n
The online application goes live soon. Once accepted, you will need to attend two trainings: one at your local county and one in-person meeting with the full teen leader team. Dates TBA.<\/p>\n
