4-H volunteers, also known as 4-H Leaders, make up the backbone of the 4-H Youth Development program, and without them 4-H would not exist.  The Price County 4-H only has one paid 50% position, the 4-H Youth Development Educator.  This individual depends greatly on volunteers to help form clubs, chaperone and hold activities and events, help youth with projects, and keep the 4-H Youth Development program going.  Any time and effort from our volunteers is greatly appreciated.

HOW TO BECOME A 4-H VOLUNTEER

Leaders are very important to 4-H, they help with questions, share their skills, and help us remember what 4-H is all about.  Without our leaders we would not be able to have a successful 4-H Youth Development program.  There are different types of leaders and ways to be involved in the 4-H Youth Development program (click on “How to become..” for ways and types of volunteering).

We’re getting excited for the 2025-26 4-H year — and we’ve got a few updates to share with our volunteers before you re-enroll.

Updated Volunteer Training Process:
This year, when you log in to 4-HOnline to re-enroll, you’ll be able to complete your 2025-26 Volunteer Training right in your 4-H Online profile — no extra links or websites needed!

Background Checks:
Background checks are required every two years. If you’re due, 4-H Online will prompt you to start the process when you re-enroll. After you submit your enrollment, keep an eye on your inbox for an email from HireRight to complete your background check. (Be sure to check your spam folder.) 

Important Deadlines:
 According to our updated Wisconsin 4-H volunteer re-enrollment policy:
Enrollment is due by November 1.
Complete your training and background check (if needed) by December 1.

These steps are required for you to be an approved volunteer. Please complete on time so you will be allowed to lead programming with 4-H youth.

We truly appreciate your commitment to creating safe, positive spaces for our youth. Getting your re-enrollment done early helps make sure all our programs are supported by approved, ready-to-go volunteers like you!
