Personal Value of Volunteering

Volunteers come into the 4-H Youth Development program to support youth and make a difference.

In addition to making a difference, volunteers stated they:

had fun while volunteering

built new relationships with youth

gained skills to use in other roles

felt better connected to the community

“I feel that most of my life skills come from what I’ve learned from being in 4-H or a volunteer. I have learned how to stand in front of a crowd and speak to everyone without fear. Being able to pass on that knowledge to the youth in 4-H has been a great feeling.”
