4-H VOLUNTEER ORIENTATION - An Excellent Online Resource

The Texas 4-H & Youth Development Program would like to remind volunteers of the online orientation course for 4-H volunteers. The goal of this course is to provide volunteers with an understanding of the organizational structure of Texas AgriLife Extension Service and how the 4-H program operates. It also helps volunteers recognize their roles and responsibilities within the structure and program. Specifically, the course provides information on the following:

• An overview of Texas AgriLife Extension Service
• 4-H 101: Facts about 4-H
• An overview of the various methods of participation available in the 4-H program
• Volunteer qualifications, roles in which volunteers may serve and the responsibilities associated with each role
• A list of various resources for 4-H volunteers

The course is available online at: http://campus.extension.org and can be completed within one hour. If a volunteer cannot complete the orientation in one sitting, they do have the capabilities to come back to it at a later time.

Once the course is complete, the volunteers may print off a completion certificate.

Directions on how to enroll in the course available on the Comal County Extension Website (under Publications) and the Texas 4-H Website through the "Online Orientation for Texas 4-H Volunteers" page.
