Volunteers

 

  • Why volunteer?
    • Volunteers make up the backbone of the 4-H Youth Development program, and without them 4-H would not exist.  The Taylor County 4-H only has two paid positions, the 4-H Youth Development Agent and the 4-H Administrative Assistant.  These two individuals depend greatly on volunteers to help form clubs, chaperone and hold activities and events, help youth with projects, and keep the 4-H Youth Development program going.  Any time and effort from our volunteers is greatly appreciated.
