The
strength and vitality of the 4-H club program in Wahkiakum County
is dependent upon willingness of adults to become 4-H leaders to
work with kids in a positive and meaningful way. Many of our current
4-H clubs are full....so if you are interested in having your children
in the Wahkiakum County 4-H program....we need your help!!!
To
become a potential 4-H leader, you must first attend "New 4-H
Leader Orientation" that is offered the third Monday of each
month at the WSU Cowlitz Extension office in Kelso from 5:30 pm to
6:30 pm. Potential new leaders will receive information and materials
related to the 4-H volunteer application and screening process and
receive other basic new leader materials related to the Cowlitz County
4-H Youth program. If the above day and time does not work for you,
another time can be scheduled.
Once the application and screening process is completed then you will be required
to complete new leader training to help you in your new 4-H volunteer role. Leader
training dates will be communicated during the new leader orientation. New leader
training is FREE and fun!!!
For additional
information and/or questions about becoming a 4-H leader, please
contact Jennifer Leach, WSU Extension Faculty 4-H Youth Development
