Youth leadership

Building leadership skills is a core component of the 4‑H experience. Members have multiple opportunities to grow as leaders, including:

  • 4-H Club Officers – Each club elects officers who help run meetings and guide club activities. Common officer roles include President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Historian, and Council Representatives.
  • 4-H Council Officers – These youth leaders represent all 4‑H clubs in Logan County as part of a unified council. They make decisions that shape the local 4‑H program and help plan events throughout the year.
  • 4-H Committee Members – Youth work alongside Extension agents and 4-H volunteers providing input on statewide programs like the Colorado State Fair, leadership conferences, and judging contests.
  • 4-H State Officer – Senior 4‑H members interested in travel, teamwork, and advanced leadership development can run for District or State officer positions. This role offers a unique opportunity to collaborate with peers statewide and strengthen leadership skills.

4-H volunteers

Volunteers help make up the core of 4-H and are critical to the success of youth members. In Colorado, there are more than 8,000 volunteers who give their time, skills, and talents to help youth.

These volunteers serve in a number of capacities. Some choose to help at summer camps, teach a workshop, or lead a club. Others chaperone events, lend their professional skills, develop lessons, or help at the county fair.

As they provide guidance, experience, and mentorship, 4-H adult volunteers also offer young people another critical component: a healthy adult role model who helps them grow their confidence and explore their dreams for the future.
