Volunteers & Leaders Association

Volunteer work is invaluable to 4-H and our entire community! Trusted adults as volunteers offer youth great environments to learn and grow. 4-H recognizes that adults supporting youth also need some help at times, which is where Extension comes in. The 4-H Youth Development Educator is here to help adults identify and have access to what they need. For more information on adults mentoring youth in 4-H, please view the following sites regarding 4-H Volunteer resources and becoming a Volunteer.

Some volunteers lead clubs with the help of their youth members, while others assist in youth learning through specific projects or activities. For club leaders, this is done in existing 4-H Clubs or by creating their own club through our 4-H Process. Being a club leader isn’t the only way to volunteer with 4-H! Other volunteer options to explore in Ashland County are baking for fundraisers, leading an outdoor adventure for a day, hosting a special STEAM or STEM class, and more!
