What is a 4-H Leader’s Council? It is group of 4-H leaders, 4-H teen leaders, and 4-H volunteers who want to meet together to gain new ideas, give input on 4-H programs and contests, connect with other 4-H volunteers for mentoring and networking, coordinate transportation and rooming for regional and state leader trainings, and have fun together! Membership is free and is open to all teens, parents, leaders and volunteers.
This group will meets on the 2nd Wednesday of each month at the 4-H office at 7 p.m. (no meetings held in July, August or December). Please call (399-8202) or email to let us know you plan to attend, so we have enough materials and refreshments prepared. At each meeting there will be light refreshments, planning and sharing time, and a program about some aspect of 4-H. Meetings will last approximately 1 1/2 hours. Child care is not available.
