The County 4-H Advisory Council is a diverse group of people with an opportunity to fulfill the desire to serve the youth of their counties. A 4-H council is composed of 10 to 25 business and professional people, adult and youth volunteers, parents, and representatives of civic organizations from all areas. Each member is a volunteer contributing time, energy, and other resources to help build better citizens through the 4-H youth development education program. Members share the needs of the youth of the county with the Extension staff, who assist in developing educational programs to meet those needs.
Council members work as a team to help gather resources needed for educational programs.
A council helps with many activities in support of 4-H youth development. These core members then recruited other key people to help organize the local 4-H Advisory Council. Advisory council members can rely on their Extension agents to continue to work with them and to assist council committees, as needed, in implementing the council's program. Each council will want to develop and implement a plan of work and will have the opportunity to make an annual report to the State 4-H Advisory Council. Meetings Your council determines the number and frequency of meetings.
