Anyone looking to volunteer with a local 4-H club this year is encouraged to attend a training event later this week.

The 4-H New Volunteer Training is a regional event designed for anyone committing to a long-term experience working with 4-H youth in a club or project or Clover Kid leaders and assistances.

Volunteers are required to attend a regional new volunteer training within the first 12 months of being screened and approved.  The training will provide better working knowledge of positive youth development, the Iowa 4-H Equation and tools to be more confident and capable in working with youth.

It takes place at the West Des Moines library on Saturday, January 28th from 9:30am to 12:30pm.  It’s free but registration is required.  To sign up visit http://form.jotform.com/63044574541151
