4-H Leaders' Meeting
The Wood County 4-H Leaders' Meetings are for volunteer leaders in Wood County to stay up-to-date on all of the current 4-H news and events, as well as learn how you can help to ensure the 4-H program is strong in Wood County! We have an exciting fund-raiser coming up to support our 4-H members and program, so come out and learn about what's happening! Our meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on September 3, 2019, 3rd Floor Meeting Room, Courthouse.
4-H Teen Leaders
The Wood County 4-H Teen Leaders is a group for any 4-H member who turns 12 by September
30, 2019. Anyone who was 12 on that date and older can join us for the upcoming
4-H year. Teen Leaders host events, help plan 4-H camps, volunteer and learn leadership
skills at various 4-H camps and events. Teen Leaders is an excellent opportunity
to introduce friends to 4-H who have never been in the program. Bring them to a
4-H meeting! The next Teen Leader meeting will be
September 8, 2019 at 2 p.m. at the South Parkersburg Baptist Church Youth Building.
Immediately following the meeting at 3 p.m., we will have a discussion about 2019
camps and reflect on ideas for the 2020 camping season. Snacks will be provided,
so please join us! Parents must sign in 4-H members under 18. Any 4-H member driving
who is under 18 should contact me to make sure we have a permission slip on file
for you. Email me at

Anyone between the ages of 18 and 21 who is a 4-H member is invited to join us at 2 p.m., Sunday, September 8, at the South Parkersburg Baptist Church Youth Building to talk about the future of our Collegiate 4-H Club.
