Be sure they realize leaders are volunteers who are not being paid. Invite parents to a 4-H meeting or ask if they would like to hold meetings in their homes so they can see how leaders work with clubs. Be specific about jobs the club needs help with. People who expect help usually get it. Offer a choice of jobs.
People have different time and abilities.
Ask the young people to ask their parents to help. 4-H is a program for boys and girls who are 9 to 19 years of age. It is open to everyone. Nationally, it is part of the Extension Program in the U.S. Department of Agriculture. They have fun with friends at meetings, social activities, tours, camps and fairs.
