Dear 4-H Volunteers and Teen Leaders-
Statewide 4-H Volunteer Training is coming back!! The 2018 4-H Volunteer Forum is scheduled for March 16-17, 2018 at Circus-Circus in Reno. The theme is “4-H Grows Here” and there are a lot of great workshops and activities planned during the weekend. This training is open to all Extension Professionals, 4-H Volunteers and 4-H Teen Leaders, who are 14 to 19 years old.
Why should you attend?
o To meet and socialize with volunteers and members from across the state
o To gather new ideas and skills to share with the youth in your club
o Become invigorated and committed to 4-H
o Increase interpersonal and professional skills
o TO HAVE FUN!!
On Friday night, there will be a Share Fair, where 4-H staff, volunteers, teens, and others can share their fun and innovative 4-H activities and projects that are happening in their counties. Check out all of the workshops that are available in the registration packets. There are new curriculum ideas, how to work with youth, information about the new YQCA program, STEM programs, and lots of other high-quality workshops.
On Saturday at lunch, we will be celebrating Nevada 4-H Volunteers! Years of service will be recognized for those volunteers who have reached the 5 year increments of service (5 year, 10 year, 15 year, 20 year, etc.) and the Nevada 4-H Volunteer of the Year will be honored at this event!
The Forum will end on Saturday night at 5:30 p.m. but for those who want to stay over, there will be some optional teen activities that will be coordinated by the State 4-H Ambassadors. There may be a small fee for those activities. More information will be sent out later about those events.
