[Image: 4-H Brochure Cover]We are honored that you chose to be a 4-H volunteer leader. Your 4-H year will be packed with loads of fun as you guide the 4-H members at your school through their 4-H year. Not only will the youth learn life skills that will help them reach their future goals, but also, you as well, will learn from them. We know you will have the time of your life!
You can make your monthly meeting an inspiration to your members by incorporating exciting activities to help 4-H'ers gain a sense of belonging. It can be a challenge for 4-H leaders to plan exciting, involved meetings. Variety in activities helps make 4-H meetings educational and enriches the experience for club members. Active club programs help create interest and provide inspiration and stimulation for members to learn through new experiences.
There are many ways to incorporate active, fun learning into 4-H club meetings. Check out the club meeting publications below for examples of ways to make your meetings the best they can be. A few of those examples include goal-setting exercises, using a planning worksheet and incorporating evalutation activites into your club program.
Without you and other volunteers, the 4-H program would not exist. We hope that these resources will make your role as a 4-H leader easier for both new and experienced 4-H Leaders.
