How to Become a Volunteer

Volunteer leaders are a key component of the 4-H program, which focuses on citizenship, leadership, and life skills development using a "learn-by-doing" educational model. 4-H is unique in its pursuit of effective youth-adult partnerships. These partnerships ensure that both youth and adults grow together in shared responsibility and decision-making.

Becoming a 4-H Volunteer is an application process. You will need to enroll online, receive fingerprint clearance from the Department of Justice, view a Volunteer Certification video online and complete the quiz. Upon completion of this and the approval of the County Director, you will receive notification of becoming a certified 4-H Volunteer.
