Now a days when you think about 4-H you think about kids and clubs. Our 4-H clubs are the cornerstone of our youth program and they would not exist if it weren't for some wonderful adults that we call 4-H volunteers. It is easy to say they are the heart of our program because without their constant flow of help, caring, and knowledge we would not have a program.
Our club volunteers came out for the first of our quarterly trainings this year. The first topic, clubs of course. The training was set up for everyone first timers who are thinking about starting a club to our seasoned veterans who have been in club work for more than a decade. They had the opportunity to lead pledges, learn how to obtain EIN numbers and ask every question under the sun concerning clubs. Some of the volunteers felt like we had unloaded a dump truck of information on, others said they are ready to go out and start 4-H clubs on every corner.
The next volunteer training will be "4-H 101: Everything you ever wanted to know about 4-H but did not know to ask." the training will be held April 24, at the O. P. Owens Agricultural Center. For more information about 4-H or the Volunteer trainings please contact Shea Ann DeJarnettte, Extension Agent for 4-H Youth Development at (910) 671-3276 or Shea_Ann_DeJarnette@ncsu.edu.
