THANK YOU!
We are thankful for our volunteers. Volunteers are the keys to our success and whether you are interested in becoming a club leader or only have a few hours to invest, we have challenging and fun jobs for adults and teens who want to make a difference. People volunteer in 4-H for many reasons. One obvious benefit for parents is spending time with and being a positive role model for their children. Other benefits volunteers say they enjoy are: enhanced self-esteem, leadership skill development, job-related skill development, and social opportunities.
Are you interested in teaching or leading a workshop; becoming a volunteer leader for a new or existing 4-H club; beginning a cooking club; beginning an animal science club; beginning a cloverbud club; serving on a committee; becoming an as-needed volunteer for our one-and-done programs like project book judging, presentation judging, fair exhibit entry, or livestock show ring volunteer; being a judge or an assistant to the judges for the Lee Regional Fair youth exhibits; Special interest Summer classes, whether teaching or assisting; or something else? Check out our current needs.
The process for becoming a volunteer is simple. Sign up at v2.4honline.com as an adult volunteer. We will contact you for an interview. If you will be working with our 4-H youth, we will contact references and complete a background check.
