Adult mentors are the heart of 4-H. By volunteering your time, you help local youth build confidence, learn real-world skills, and grow into capable leaders. Whether you want to lead a club, share a specific skill through a short workshop, or assist with seasonal events, there is a flexible role for every schedule and skill set.
Volunteers are always valued in 4-H. As a 4-H volunteer, you have the opportunity to not only witness others grow in talent but see yourself evolve as a leader. You will also be rewarded in many other ways, including:
Volunteers develop knowledge and skills in the areas of child and youth development, organizational planning, and personal and group management.
Volunteers can watch the development of 4-H members as they become leaders.
Volunteers can help others and their own families.
Volunteers meet new people and work with outstanding 4-H members and adults.

Why are Volunteers Needed?
Volunteers are the only way that 4-H can reach youth throughout the state. One person alone could not possibly bring the diverse set of skills to our youth that 4-H volunteers can deliver.
Your talents and skills contribute to a well-rounded 4-H learning experience for all members.
