4‑H empowers young people with the skills to lead for a lifetime. It’s a research-based experience that includes a mentor, a hands-on project, and a meaningful leadership opportunity. The 4-H Youth Development Program uses a learn-by-doing approach to enable youth to develop the knowledge, attitudes and skills they need to become competent, caring and contributing citizens of the world. This is accomplished by using the knowledge and resources of caring adults. The goals of the 4-H Youth Development Program are to: Provide informal, educational programs for youth in grades K–13 (one year out of high school) Encourage responsibility, community awareness and character development in youth Strengthen skills for adults working with youth through publications and training Improve community partnerships and collaborations
Volunteers are essential to the successful implementation of the 4-H program. All registered adult 4-H volunteers working directly with 4-H youth in New Jersey complete a screening process and receive training at no cost to themselves. Teens may also serve in volunteer roles through the 4-H Teen Leadership project.
Volunteers can serve in a variety of roles, including the following:
*Club Leaders
*Assistant Club Leaders
* Camp Counselors
