The 4-H Junior Leader experience is designed to provide members with the opportunity to learn about the qualities and competencies needed to be a leader. Junior leasers provide assistance with 4-H events and assume more challenging leadership roles. Junior Leaders may assist with specific community projects or with more general 4-h activities and events. 4-H Junior Leaders are also at the fore-front and heart of 4-H's service-learning projects, and this is one of the important aspects of the club. 4-H members are eligible to be in the Junior Leader Project Club if they are at least 13 years of age or older by January 1st of their current school year.
