Want to make a positive, lasting change in our community? 

We invite you to become a 4-H Club Leader and help us provide safe, enriching programs where young people can explore a universe of interests, make new friends, develop leadership skills and gain life skills. 4-H clubs belong to the families within our community and focus on curriculum-based programs in the areas of citizenship, health living, STEM and agriculture. We "learn-by-doing." Our volunteers bring their unique knowledge, experiences, and skills to the 4-H program. You don't need to be an expert. You do need to be enthusiastic about learning and have a desire to work with youth.

What are you waiting for? Prince William youth need YOU to help THEM find their own special talents, build confidence and gain life skills. Volunteering in 4-H doesn't depend on the amount of knowledge you have about a project. It relies on your willingness to help youth learn.
