4-H Volunteer Resources
4-H Volunteers - The Heart of 4-H!
There are hundreds of 4-H volunteers in New Hampshire
and they have many roles. You don't have to have any special talents
or knowledge, only enthusiasm and a desire to make a positive impact
in a child's life.
If you're interested in becoming a 4-H volunteer, contact your local
County 4-H Extension Educator and ask how to get involved.
Other opportunities for volunteers include working on state Advisory
Committees and Curriculum Committees. These committees oversee specific
programs and provide valuable input to curriculum, guidelines for
projects and state-wide events.
