4-H volunteer leaders needed

POMEROY–The Garfield County 4-H program needs adult volunteers as club leaders in all areas of interest. Especially needed are volunteers for family living clubs–cooking, sewing, crafting, knitting, crochet. Additional areas interest expressed by some children are in robotics, shooting sports and photography.

The 4-H programs are for kids who live in the country, in the city, and everywhere in-between. 4-H welcomes all children from all races, religions, ethnicity, both boys and girls and all races and religions. More boys and girls belong to 4-H than any other youth group in the nation.

Current 4-H clubs, Garfield County Livestock, Blue Ribbon 4-H, Garfield County Country Kids, and Pirate Ponies, offer projects in large animals, horse, beef, swine, sheep and goats. The Creative Kids club offers projects in cooking, sewing, and crafts. This club has grown to over 30 members, making it a challenge for one person.

The importance of leaders is the many levels of certain platforms they bring to young people such as life skills, teamwork, pride in ownership and self and project improvement. There is no limit to the number of times we can get involved, help others strive for excellence and seek higher self-knowledge and awareness.
