Volunteer Research Knowledge and Competency Taxonomy Lesson Plans: The VRKC Taxonomy is based on the identified skills and competencies that volunteers will need in order to effectively deliver 4-H Youth Development programs and activities in the next decade. This series of lesson plans were originally designed for training 4-H volunteers, but some of them may work well with other program area volunteers. Access the complete set of lesson plans.
Volunteerism for the Next Generation Fact Sheet Series is adapted from the TAXI curriculum that was produced by National 4-H Council in the mid-’90s. TAXI was one of the primary volunteerism resources identified by internal and external experts when the National 4-H Learning Priority Team on Volunteerism began their work in 2007. The National 4-H Learning Priority Team on Volunteerism received permission from National 4-H Council to retrieve specific sections from TAXI and create new Volunteerism for the Next Generation (VNG) Fact Sheets. Access the fact sheets.
