The success of 4-H is dependent upon the teamwork between volunteers and Extension professionals. Volunteers are a key component to helping sustain the 4-H motto – “to make the best better.” Volunteers help make the best 4-H experiences possible!
Volunteers provide opportunities by (1) teaching project subject matter and new skills for youth to gain knowledge, and (2) providing opportunities and experiences for youth to master skills learned. Trained volunteers provide a wealth of knowledge and skills to help sustain a quality 4-H program.
