4-H Wisconsin

The dedication and commitment of our volunteers make 4-H Youth Development possible. Volunteers generously offer their time, expertise and provide support for hundreds of 4-H programs all over Wisconsin.

Volunteers in 4-H Youth Development Programs

Volunteers play a vital role in the ongoing growth and development of youth in the 4-H Youth Development program. Some roles include:

• Work in partnership (adults and youth) to lead 4-H clubs, activities and events
• Help plan and conduct events
• Recruit other volunteers
• Develop and evaluate 4-H Youth Development programs
• Contribute through promoting and supporting 4-H
• Lead workshops to share knowledge with young people
• Chaperone field trips and leadership conferences

How to Volunteer

Volunteering is a privilege. All that’s needed is a desire to provide quality educational programs and experiences with youth. Previous 4-H Youth Development experience is not necessary. For more information, contact the 4-H Youth Development staff member at your County UW-Extension Office.
