The Parish 4-H Organizational Leader supports their parish 4-H program through one or more of the following roles:
The Club Leader provides overall 4-H club leadership. They also coordinate members, parents, and the involvement of other leaders. 4-H Club Leaders can be an individual, a team, or a group of people who have specific roles that fulfill the 4-H Club Leader responsibilities. Team members can be a youth-adult partnership.
Our Project Leaders coordinate and teach members within a specific project area, such as photography, foods, or robotics. 4-H volunteer project leaders are the "backbone" of 4-H.
Activity Leaders direct activities, such as drama, fundraising, recreation, community service, and promotion. 4-H members learn through involvement in the activity.
