Marion County 4-H Volunteers

Marion County 4-H relies on dedicated volunteers to promote its mission to help youth gain the knowledge and life skills they need to be productive, responsible citizens.

Adults who are not currently 4-H Volunteers, we invite you to become a volunteer and share in the positive experiences of the Marion County 4-H Program. Your time as a volunteer will provide these youth the safe environment they need to pursue whatever interests, causes, and leadership roles that are most important to them. 

Adults who are currently 4-H volunteers, we are grateful for you and hope you find the resources on our Volunteer Resource Site helpful.

Please contact the Marion County 4-H office today if you have questions regarding volunteering for 4-H, (352) 671-8400.
