4-H volunteer positions
are not thankless jobs
CLEMENTON -
Volunteer involvement is 4-H
is limited “only by your
imagination and ability,”
according to Sara Drabik,
Camden 4-H Agent.
There are many types of
jobs in 4-H, Drabik points
out, and volunteers should be
encouraged to participate
whenever needed and
available.
Volunteer jobs that are
becoming more firmly
established, Drabik says,
are “key” county or area
subject matter leaders.
Adults who fill such positions
have responsibilities for
overall planning and
programming in specific
areas such as food and
nutrition, clothing, horse
management and pet care.
They also supervise other
volunteers and act as hasons
between local volunteers and
salaried staff members.
“Subject matter volunteers

noted that while the club had
suffered a slump in recent
years, it is once again alive

Hershey and Ronald Kline.
to provide 4-H leaders with
much stronger support,”
Drabik says.
Volunteer organizational,
project and activity leader
positions are available for
both 4-H clubs and for short
term special interest
projects such as bicycle
safety and child care. In
addition, many adult
volunteers are needed to
work in the county 4-H
program committee
structure.
“4-H positions are not
thankless jobs”, according
to Drabik. “While we are
asking leaders to invest their
time, energy and resources
in 4-H programs, volun
teering is not a one way
street,” she says. “Not only
do volunteers have op
portunities to watch youth
develop and assume
responsibility, but they also
receive up to date training in
their own specialities.”
These contracts were ac
quired by the CCC as a result
of the suspension of exports
to the Soviet Union.
Allow only trained,
competent people to operate
farm equipment. Keep
children away.
