This is the 4-H motto. If you want to make a difference in a child's life by helping him or her reach their fullest potential, become a 4-H volunteer. Research indicates that children who are listened to and are sensitive to others make friends more easily. Those with a larger circle of friends are less likely to be pressured by one group into unwanted behavior. Adult volunteers assist by serving as club leaders, special project leaders, committee members and in many other ways.
Most clubs meet once or twice per month at times which are convenient for their adult leaders.
Volunteers are provided with ongoing training by the 4-H staff and experienced volunteers. When many people think of 4-H, cooking, sewing, livestock and vegetable production come to mind. Although these are still important and popular projects, computers, business and home management, pet care, woodworking, 4-H Camp, and consumer and environmental education are studied also.
