4-H Club Leader Needed in Williamstown Area
11:23AM / Wednesday, October 01, 2014
Print | Email  

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The 4-H Youth Program is looking for adult volunteers (age 21 and older) to start up 4-H clubs in the Williamstown area.  

There are youth interested in being part of the program, but there are no clubs in the area for them to join.  

The 4-H program is designed for both boys and girls ages 5-18, broken down to Cloverbuds, Juniors and Seniors. The Cloverbud program is specifically for boys and girls in kindergarten through third grade (ages 5 to 7) and is built on cooperative learning, rather than competitive activities. Juniors (ages 8-13) and Seniors (ages14-18) work on projects.

4-H cloverbud clubs are activity-focused and not project-focused with members participating in activities and opportunities in which they practice skills, discover talents, and learn about fairness in a non-judgmental environment.  Juniors and Seniors can have up to five projects ranging from animals to rocketry.

All new 4-H leaders will be provided with an orientation training, resource materials, activity curriculum and support. For more information about 4-H or to sign up to become a 4-H club leader, contact 4-H Educator Angelica Paredes or by email at angelica@umext.umass.edu.

4-H is the outreach youth education program of the UMass Extension system which is funded through the University of Massachusetts/Amherst and the United States Department of Agriculture.
