“Start Your 4-H Volunteer Journey” will provide participants with information about the UMaine Extension 4-H program, including key aspects of positive youth development and opportunities to help youth as a volunteer. The one-hour virtual sessions will also outline the application process for anyone interested in getting involved.
4-H is a positive youth development program that empowers youth to “find their spark” and thrive. Volunteers play key roles in these experiences, making a difference by helping youth explore and discover the skills they need to lead successful and fulfilling lives. Adults interested in starting a 4-H club, sharing expertise and passion through shorter programs that last a few hours or a few weeks, or assisting with local county 4-H events are encouraged to attend.
The informational sessions are free; registration is required on the program webpage. For more information or to request a reasonable accommodation, contact Jennifer Lobley at jennifer.lobley@maine.edu or 207.255.3345.
