Support (volunteer) groups

Volunteer groups allow ANR to extend UC knowledge and add tremendous value to the local community. APBC works with the ANR directors of these groups to issue and update relevant policy and guidelines.

Managing volunteer groups may raise important questions or concerns. It is always best to first contact the Statewide 4-H and/or MGP offices for assistance, especially for issues that are programmatic in nature.
