A valuable resource for all project leaders is 4H 350, Getting Started in 4-H Leadership. Contact your club organizational leader or county UW-Extension office for a copy. Many projects have a leader manual to help you plan and carry out project meetings. These guides often have lists of other resources. Leader training conferences from local to national levels help you build skills you can use with your 4-H group.
Conferences are great for sharing ideas with others.
Each ETN site has a loud speaker and microphone linking participants with conference instructors. Some project areas, such as dairy, have statewide newsletters for 4-H leaders. The hours that your child is involved in 4-H working in group settings are important. Many 4-H projects and activities are natural family activities.
