Why Volunteer?

4-H is FUN!
Most people volunteer for 4-H because they enjoy working with kids.
To make a positive contribution to youth.
So that a young person's future can be shaped in the positive environment of 4-H, recognizing that young people are the future.
To obtain training from USU Extension in youth and leadership development.
For your personal development in skill areas pertaining to projects, leadership, teaching, and organization.

Becoming a 4-H club leader is an immensely rewarding volunteer experience. Children need caring, supportive adults in their lives. We invite you to be that special adult for your club members.

To become a 4-H club leader, you need to complete the following steps.

Read the Volunteer Application Packet and complete a 4-H Volunteer Application. Submit your application to: Morgan County 4-H, 48 West Young Street, UT 84050, (801) 829-3472
You will be interviewed by a 4-H staff member. Your application will be reviewed and a background screening conducted.
Attend New 4-H Club Leader Orientation. This is a mandatory, One and 1/2 -hour orientation that must be completed before you can become a 4-H club leader.

Once you have successfully completed the background screening process and attended New 4-H Club Leader Orientation, you are an official 4-H club leader and can begin your service.

Although New 4-H Club Leader Orientation is the only training required, it merely provides the basics of being a 4-H club leader. All leaders are strongly encouraged to complete 4-H Core Training during their first year as a club leader!

Remember, no previous experience is necessary, just the desire to have fun and learn together as a club.
