Camp Counselors
Youth in grades 7 and up can serve as counselors for Cloverbud & Explorer Day Camps and youth in grades 9 and up can apply to be a summer camp counselor. Counselors receive training and assume responsibility for planning and implementing camps.
Leader Learn-In
Club officers and organizational leaders attend the annual Leader Learn-In to learn about their job responsibilities. They receive tools and information to assist them in successfully carrying out those responsibilities.
4-H Ambassadors
Youth in grades 8-13 are chosen annually to assist in promoting the 4-H program. Youth need to have been active club members and participated in county opportunities. They develop confidence speaking in front of small and large groups. Activities vary from helping with New Family Night, doing a session at Project Discovery Day and hosting a booth at Blue Ribbon Kids Day. The group determines annually what activities they will do to achieve their goals.
