Collapse ▲No matter how much time you have, volunteering with 4-H makes a difference by helping youth explore and discover the skills they need to lead for a lifetime. There are lots of ways to get involved!
1. Help youth lead a club
Assist a youth club leader with organizing meetings, speakers, and other logistics. Assist and/or mentor a 4-H volunteer who is serving as a project leader.
2. Teach a skill
Organize a club, or share your skills by teaching a club meeting workshop, devoted to your area of specialty.
3. Judge projects
Serve as a judge for 4-H exhibits, competitions or performances, providing encouragement and suggestions for improvement.
4. Plan or help at an event
Volunteer at a county/parish special event; from set-up or clean-up to serving food or taking registrations, there are a lot of ways to get involved.
5. Serve on an advisory board/committee
Sit on a local advisory or county governing board to help determine program priorities.
6. Help with a specific 4-H project
Advise a 4-H member in their project work: help youth identify and set goals, create and implement a plan, and reflect on what they learned and would do differently next time.
7. Assist with program delivery
Volunteer at an after school program, a summer program, camp program event or club meeting.
8. Volunteer on a fair organizing committee
Volunteer at a local fair – be inspired by the talents and creativity of the next generation while promoting the country’s largest positive youth development organization! Work in the food booth or help in the 4-H exhibit hall or at the 4-H show ring.
9. Utilize your professional skills
Share your technical skills and knowledge to develop subject matter for curriculum/project sheets. Utilize your professional skills to assist with creating marketing tools, graphic art, word documents, webpages, videos, online training modules, etc. Intern at your local Extension office with the 4-H program, a great resume builder.
10. Share your experiences
Share your hobby/passion – inspire a young person as a guest speaker or short-term instructor. Share your career path – invite a 4-H’er to shadow you for the day. Share your educational path/give a testimonial – how did you get to where you are? (If you are a college student – how did you choose your school, what are you pursuing, what are you aspiring to do?)
