Opportunities
- Volunteers are essential to the success of the 4-H program. All registered adult 4-H volunteers working directly with 4-H youth in South Carolina complete a screening process and receive training at no cost to themselves. Teens may also serve in volunteer roles through the 4-H Teen Leadership project.
- Teen Leaders – We are looking for teen leaders to assist with 4-H programming in the County. Teen Leaders also have opportunities to attend statewide 4-H teen leadership trainings held throughout the year.
