Project Leader and Volunteer Training

Do you wonder what a project leader is? Are you new to 4-H and wonder what a project leader does? Are you a long-time leader and want some new ideas and a chance to connect with other 4-H volunteers? Are you a youth who would like to help organize project learning opportunities?

Then this training is for you!

Join us to talk about resources and strategies to be an effective project volunteer. (You do not have to be a current project leader to attend!) Adults and youth, currently enrolled adults, and those who are curious are encouraged to attend.
