4-H Volunteers

The backbone of 4-H is a system of volunteers who share their interests and passions with 4-H Youth by leading and assisting leaders of 4-H clubs. There are many opportunities for caring and supportive adults to serve as mentors, volunteers, and family participants. If you are interested in becoming a 4-H club leader or otherwise volunteering with the 4-H program, please complete this brief form: https://reg.cce.cornell.edu/Oswego4HClubLeader_235 or contact our office at 315-963-7286.

4-H Youth

Why 4-H?

The purpose of 4-H is twofold:

  1. To provide youth with fun hands-on educational experiences that will help them develop life skills such as confidence, leadership, cooperation, and responsibility.
  2. To provide interested parents and other adults with the opportunity to grow through working with youth.

Is 4-H for me?

Youth and adults alike will:

  • Have a good time through learning in new, enjoyable ways.
  • Make friends, belong to a group, give & receive acceptance and recognition.
  • Build self-confidence
  • Develop a desire to learn
  • Gain decision-making, problem-solving, and leadership skills
  • Become more interested in their community and the people in it
  • Get more experience in relating to and working with their family, their peers, and people of different ages
  • Learn, make, or do things that are appealing and meaningful
