Member Leadership Opportunities
Junior Leaders
Want to develop your leadership skills? Junior Leader is a great opportunity to share responsibility with an adult leader and to help guide younger 4-H members.
Junior leaders must be in at least 7th grade and have completed one year of satisfactory 4-H work or equivalent experience. To be a junior leader requires the approval of the 4-H adult leader.
Leadership activities carried out by Junior Leaders:
- help officers with their duties;
- teach members how to fill out records;
- teach some of the project work;
- and teach members how to "show and tell."
Teen Leaders
Organizing meetings, serving as a leader, and teaching others are life-long skills. The Teen Leader works with an adult advisor who will be available for advice and counsel.
Teen Leaders are in grades 10th-12th, who must have 1 year previous 4-H experience. Teen Leaders must be approved by 4-H faculty, attend a New Leader training, and pass an OSU criminal history check.
