Volunteers may be club leaders with groups of young people. These volunteers help to plan educational programs and organize community service projects to give the youth opportunities to gain lifeskills like responsibility, record keeping and leadership.
Some volunteers work with specific programs that are limited to a shorter term commitment.
These programs might include teaching a class in an area of interest like woodworking, sewing, electric or etiquette. This might be a person who serves as a coach for young people preparing for public speaking contests or who serves as a judge for the competition. There are also volunteers who provide assistance by serving on advisory committees. These individuals help youth development professionals make program direction decisions to insure that the needs of the county's young people are being met.
