For Leaders & Volunteers
Become A 4-H Leader
4-H programs reach out to kids and their families to build skills for life. Your time, knowledge, and heart for youth could make the difference in the quality of life in our community. Adult volunteers play an important role in the 4-H program. Volunteers coordinate local community clubs and help to conduct local, regional, state and national 4-H events. Asotin County Extension will provide you with the support and training you will need along the way.
There are many ways to volunteer, just ask!
- Help teach 4-H youth
- Help organize the club
- Help officers and assist at meetings
- Inform parents about 4-H
We are excited to get new volunteers, so please call the WSU Asotin County Extension Office at 509-243-2009 to discuss becoming a volunteer.
