4-H Volunteer Information

The success of the 4-H youth development program is attributed to its volunteers. A 4-H volunteer is anyone who contributes time, energies, or talents to the 4-H program and is not paid by Ohio State University Extension funds. 4-H volunteers enrich and deliver the youth development program through teaching, developing programs and 4-H projects, securing resources, and providing positive life experiences for young people.

Specific 4-H volunteer roles may include:

Community Club Advisor

Project Club Advisor

Cloverbud Advisor

School Enrichment Volunteer

Short Term Volunteer

Teen Volunteers

Committee Members

How do I start the Volunteer Process?
