Jefferson County 4-H Volunteers & Leaders

Volunteers are the backbone of Jefferson County 4-H! Thank you volunteers for all that you do!

Leaders Training

Any adult individual that participates in WVU Sponsored programs (including leaders and members), must complete Harassment and Discrimination Prevention. There are no exceptions to this requirement. If you have not completed this training or if you have any questions, please contact the Jefferson County office immediately at 304-728-7413.

To ensure the continued safety and well-being of our 4-H members, volunteers are required to complete comprehensive training and undergo background checks. Sometimes the requirements get a bit complicated. We are constantly finding ways to make it easier for you to become an approved volunteer so you can continue doing what you do so very well. We are always a phone call or email away. Feel free to stop by the office for assistance!
