Provide overall 4-H club leadership and coordinate members, parents, and the involvement of other leaders. 4-H Club Leaders can be an individual, a team, or a group of people that have specific roles that fulfill the 4-H Club Leader responsibilities. Team members can be a youth adult partnership
4-H Volunteers are supported with variety of educational curriculum such as educational literature, software, and workbooks which help provide guidance for advising youth. The 4-H Offices offer ongoing trainings to demonstrate the curriculum for leaders and mentor ship from 4-H staff. Volunteers also receive a bimonthly newsletter to stay update about ongoing 4-H events and meetings in Milwaukee County
4-H is the youth development program of the land-grant college system administered by University of Wisconsin -Cooperative Extension. Milwaukee County 4-H is seeking adult volunteers who will support ongoing 4-H clubs.
Be a 4-H volunteer leader and make a difference in the lives of young people.
All adult volunteers are required to complete the Youth Protection Process. The Youth Protection Process consists of four steps:
Attend a volunteer training (2.5 hour commitment)
-Sign a list of volunteer behavior guidelines
-Authorize a confidential records check through the Department of
Justice.
-Fill out two forms: Adult Volunteer Application (1st) and Adult
Enrollment Form (2nd) Note: the Adult Volunteer Application gives us
permission to conduct the confidential records check.
These four steps complete the 4-H volunteer certification process. Four-H has prided itself in being a proactive youth-serving organization with an excellent reputation of providing a healthy and safe environment for its members. This is one more step to assure the quality of the program. The 4-H Program Coordinator conducts youth protection trainings on a bi-monthly basis or as needed.
