THE EXTENSION CONNECTION: Volunteering with 4-H

Are you looking for an opportunity to make a difference in the world?

4-H offers many opportunities for adults, parents and teens to volunteer. You can help provide youths with knowledge, opportunities and fun.

4-H is the world’s largest youth organization. Multiple educational programs held throughout the year would be impossible to schedule without volunteers.

It is essential to have dedicated volunteers for a successful 4-H program.

Volunteer to help expand the Okaloosa 4-H program and provide great activities for our local 5- to 18-year-olds. Free training is provided.

Get involved today and make a difference in young people’s lives.
