4-H Volunteer e-Learning Course

The 4-H Volunteer E-Learning Course was developed in collaboration with 13 Western Regional states. This course is primarily for 4-H volunteers who want an introduction to the 4-H youth development organization and its philosophy. This course is a pre-cursor to the 4-H volunteer orientation. Taking this course does not certify you as a 4-H volunteer leader.

When you finish this course you’ll be able to define the purpose of 4-H, identify partners of the organization, explain where and how 4-H is conducted, and determine how to get started as 4-H volunteer.

The course takes approximately 20 minutes to complete
