University of California Extension welcomes you!
We hope you'll be a part of Extension as a 4-H volunteer. As a 4-H volunteer you can help youth develop into responsible, self-directed, productive citizens of the world. Our program focuses on citizenship, leadership, and life skills development using a "learn-by-doing" educational model. Our mission is to help youth reach their fullest potential while advancing the field (academic knowledge) in positive youth development.

Volunteering is easy and it begins at your county office.
