OTHER WAYS TO GET INVOLVED

Adult leaders are critical to the success of the 4-H program. Helping your own child and others can be incredibly rewarding.

Here are some things to know if you are interested in being a project leader:

There is no registration fee and no formal training is needed. Leaders should have some skill and knowledge in the topic area of the projects they lead and a desire to work with youth.
Leaders are provided with a Leader Guide that works with the member project manuals. They contain the information and lesson plans needed to teach project skills.
There are opportunities to network and learn throughout the year.
The time commitment will vary depending on the project and number of members involved. At a minimum, a leader would guide members through the required 15-20 hours of project work. Giving additional time is at the discretion of the leader.
Group size is at the leader’s discretion and depends on the number of members interested in the project topic.
Leaders are responsible for the final evaluation of a member’s project. Leaders decide if the member met the minimum project requirements and learned the skills outlined in their manuals.
Leaders are screened in accordance with the Manitoba 4-H Council Youth Protection Program (YPP), Commit to Kids and Youth Safety at 4-H in Canada.

To become a leader, please contact a local 4-H club, your “Club Support Coordinator” or start your new volunteer onboarding process.
