4-H Youth development volunteers reap many benefits National 4-H Week is October 2-8, 2022. This year's theme is Opportunity4All, shining a light on access and equity for all youth. Young people have power, and 4-H believes that every young person has valuable strengths and real influence to improve our world. By: Tony Rose, Agent for 4-H Youth Development Adair County Extension Office Kentuckians of all ages gain enormous satisfaction and other benefits by volunteering to deliver 4-H Youth Development programs in their communities. Teenage volunteers usually are older 4-H members. Volunteering helps teens gain more confidence, improve communications abilities and develop life skills. Youth volunteers do better in school, learn about career options, and sometimes develop new career goals. Those involved in community service consistently show improvement in mathematics and reading scores. Youth volunteers also better understand governance and the inner connections in the community, help identify local issues, and feel empowered to take action against these situations in partnership with others. Teenagers have many opportunities to volunteer in the 4-H Youth Development program as a mentor to younger members, spokesperson, camp counselor, and board or committee member, among others. Adult volunteers develop youth partnerships that benefit each individual involved as well as their families and communities. In partnership with adult volunteers, 4-H Youth Development members often identify community issues of interest, discuss what can be done to address the issues, and work together to tackle the situations. Adult volunteers also provide guidance and direction for club members and the local programs, develop and maintain community support, and work together with club officers, committees and other leaders to give overall direction to the local 4-H Youth Development program. These activities may include assisting 4-H members with their projects, working with school clubs, and supporting a group for a specific purpose. Teen and adult volunteers often assist with special activities and events from the local through state levels. These can include demonstrations, judging, public speaking and recreational events. Volunteers' diversity, individuality and concern for and interest in others helps us "Make the Best Better" in the Adair County 4-H Youth Development program.
