Leadership

4-H Youth Development volunteers are valued partners in working with youth throughout Lincoln County!  Volunteers are involved in all aspects of the 4-H program.  Volunteers:

Lead workshops to share knowledge with young people

• Chaperone trips, camps and other opportunities
• 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
• ontribute through promoting and supporting 4-H

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.

All 4-H Youth Development Volunteers working with youth are required to complete the Wisconsin

4-H Youth Protection program, which includes:

• a background check for arrest and conviction records
• participation in a volunteer orientation program
• annually signing a Volunteer Behavior Expectations form -- a two-copy form that is available at the UW-Extension office or download the pdf (1 page)

4-H Volunteer Leader Roles and Resources

There are several ways that volunteers, both adults and older youth, can be involved as leaders in the Lincoln County 4-H program.  Most volunteers lead projects for local year-round clubs, but there are many ways that volunteers get involved.
