For Volunteers

Welcome to the Maryland State 4-H Volunteer Webpage!

                         Greetings MD 4-H Volunteers

Become a 4-H Volunteer today and help create life-changing experiences for youth in your community!

4-H Volunteers are a key component of the 4-H program, which focuses on citizenship, leadership, and life skills development using a "learn-by-doing" educational model. With each volunteer comes knowledge, experiences, and skills which can be taught to 4-H youth and shared with the 4-H program.

No matter your background or expertise, you can join the 4-H community.  As a parent, a project leader, or in any other leadership capacity, you can offer your unique talents and perspectives. You decide the level of involvement that fits your skills and schedule, such as:

• Lead community clubs, school-based or after-school programs and camp settings
• Serve as chaperone, board member, event judge or camp counselor
• Create community service opportunities for youth in your area
• Work with other adults to create fun and exciting programs
