Becoming a 4-H Volunteer

Charlotte County 4-H relies on dedicated volunteers to promote its mission and vision.  Volunteers are essential in providing opportunities for youth to gain the knowledge and life skills they need to be productive, responsible citizens. 

By becoming and/or serving as a 4-H volunteer, you will spend time providing Charlotte County youth with a safe environment where they can pursue their interests. If you are not currently a screened 4-H volunteer, we encourage you to inquire about becoming one so that you can share in the positive experiences of the Charlotte County 4-H program. 

Share Your Passion...
