Volunteer with 4-H
<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever thought about sharing a favorite hobby with kids? 4-H clubs support all kinds of contemporary activities and interests. You might sew, cook, work with animals or can preserves, or maybe you are a computer tech, athlete, artist, or metalworker. All of these activities and more can lead to a spark of learning in a young mind! If you\u2019ve put years into studying seashells, studying nature, designing websites, or showing dogs \u2013 4-H needs you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adult volunteers are essential to 4-H program. There are many ways you can support our 4-H family as a volunteer. If you\u2019re great at organizing, fundraising, planning events, working behind the scenes, give our San Juan County 4-H Program Coordinator a call! You will be surprised at the positive difference you can have in our community through volunteering in your local 4-H organization.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n
