Volunteer ice fishing with youth<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

4-H Club Leader<\/h4>\n

Work in partnership with youth to develop life skills through a “learn by doing” approach.\u00a0 Traditional 4-H Clubs meet year-round and can focus on any topic ranging from raising animals to building robots and everything in between!<\/p>\n

4-H Special Interest Program Leader<\/h4>\n

A 4-H SPIN Club is a SPecial INterest program where youth learn about a specific topic. Topics vary and include interests such as nature, arts, science, photography, gardening, engineering, and more. SPIN clubs are short-term programs led by volunteers who have a passion for learning and want to share their skills, talents, or special interests with youth.<\/p>\n

4-H Independent or Parent\/Guardian Volunteer<\/h4>\n

This is the ideal role for a parent, guardian, and\/or adult mentor. In this role, you are at the forefront of incorporating youth-adult partnerships into 4-H programs. Independent Volunteers can be found mentoring youth through an independent project, chaperoning a club field trip or fundraiser, helping youth to learn a particular skill, and much more.<\/p>\n

4-H School Volunteer<\/h4>\n

In the classroom, teachers can work with their whole class and participate in 4-H projects (from 4-H Science to Public Speaking and more), as well as county 4-H events.<\/p>\n

4-H Community Partner<\/h4>\n

Is your organization interested in education but lacks the resources to conduct an outreach program? Partnering with 4-H is an effective way to reach youth in your community.<\/p>\n

We have a variety of volunteer opportunities that may not require training or a long-term commitment. Judging at a 4-H event, leading a hands-on workshop, helping with a specific fundraiser, guest speaking, assisting with a garden project, and more.<\/p>\n
