Forsyth 4-H Volunteer Information Meeting

The Forsyth County 4-H Program is a youth development program that needs you to make it the best it can be! 4-H is a national program that uses volunteers to lead clubs and assist the county program to teach youth personal and vocational skills that will make them well-rounded adults. 4-H Volunteers take on many different shapes and sizes, from those who lead clubs that meet once a month to those who judge one contest each year, and everyone in between. Where will you fit in? Come find out more information and start your journey with Forsyth County 4-H!

4-H has something for anyone over the age of 5. Youth between the ages of 5-18 are members and can participate in everything that 4-H offers – from educational programs to contests of every variety. Adults over the age of 18 can apply to be a volunteer and take on whatever role would fit you best, whether that’s behind the scenes or leading a club, we’ve got something for you.

Attendance at an information session is not required to apply to the Forsyth 4-H program.

This session will focus on the 4-H program in Forsyth County. If you are interested in volunteering in another county, don’t hesitate to get in touch with the Extension office there. Visit ces.ncsu.edu/local-county-center/ to find other offices.

This information session will teach you the basics of this volunteer program, and you will learn the details of what to expect and how to apply. Walk-ins are welcome, pre-registration is appreciated! Please register through Eventbrite at go.ncsu.edu/Forsyth-Eventbrite.
