4-H Club Adult Leadership

4-H is a program that focuses on providing our youth with opportunities to develop their leadership, citizenship and life skills. To make this happen, the 4-H program depends on local volunteers that are willing to invest themselves in the 4-H program.

The more volunteers we have, the more opportunities we can provide to our local youth.

• Becoming a 4-H Volunteer does not commit you to specific responsibilities of leadership - unless that is your goal.

• Being a 4-H Volunteer does mean you are willing to help in one or more of a wide variety of ways such as sharing a talent or skill, helping set up or clean up from activities, organizing and keeping records, providing transportation, chaperoning trips, etc.

• You do not need to have children in the 4-H program to become a volunteer.

• Each 4-H Volunteer participates in a one-time, two-hour Youth Protection Orientation program designed to aid adults in developing their knowledge about 4-H and its youth development programs.

• All volunteers that complete this Youth Protection training are added to the County's liability coverage free of charge.

• The 4-H program is open to any youth and adults regardless of their background, race, creed, or disability.

4-H focuses on your head, heart, hands and health.  In short, it touches every part of your life! 

We look forward to working with you to make 4-H a time for fun, learning, growing and sharing across the Buffalo County community.
