2013 TX 4-H Volunteer Conference
July 12-14, Plano, TX
The opportunities for our youth, our volunteers, and our 4-H
Program continue to grow! With this
growth comes the need to prepare and provide our volunteers with
the best resources and training
possible. As our 4-H Program continues to expand and become more
vital to the youth of Texas, it is
imperative that we effectively engage and empower our volunteer
network.
Our volunteers need access to the highest quality educators and
resources so they are best equipped to
return to their counties and work in partnership with their
local County Extension Agents to further
develop our youth. This has never been more important as we
consider how to most effectively
lead our youth. The Texas 4-H and Youth Development Program will
be sponsoring a
state-wide volunteer conference in July, 2013 in the Dallas/Ft
Worth area to prepare the new generation of 4-H volunteers to lead
and instruct our members.
Kerr 4-H has funds to help offset the cost of this event.
Laurinda will drive the
county van to help with transportation costs.
If you are interested in attending, please let Laurinda
know.
Learning & Fun are on the top of the agenda!!!
