Volunteer Leaders Orientation Must Be Complete By Jan. 1
4-H Volunteer Leaders (Club Leaders, Assistant Leaders, Project Leaders, Activity Leaders) must complete “Making the Best Better: Volunteer Orientation” by Jan. 1, 2009 to continue as a 4-H volunteer.
Since this is new to Missouri 4-H, all volunteer leaders, regardless of years of service, must complete this orientation.
Volunteers will be able to meet this requirement by attending a face-to-face orientation, or they can complete the requirement online. This is a one-time orientation. The goal is to provide all 4-H volunteers with a greater understanding of the true meaning of 4-H and help all work toward the same goals.
Parents should also consider attending this orientation. It is the nature of 4-H parents to jump in and help club and project leaders when they need assistance. These “parent helpers” don’t consider themselves to be volunteer leaders, but they are essential to the success of a 4-H Club.
But what if something happens that injures a 4-H member, or someone else, while they are helping out? The University of Missouri offers liability insurance coverage for all recognized volunteers.
To be a recognized volunteer, an adult must complete the volunteer application form, go through the automatic screening process, and complete the “Making the Best Better: Volunteer Orientation.”
