Club Leadership

Annual Club Volunteer Training

All 4-H Chartered clubs and groups need to have at least one adult volunteer attend Annual Volunteer Training. All adults and youth leaders are encouraged to attend.

Club Officer Information

One of the requirements of a 4-H Club is to have youth involvement in leadership and decision-making.  As a club office you will gain life skills of decision making, problem solving, responsibility, teamwork, leading groups, conflict resolution and more.  Specific information about each officer role is available at the Wisconsin 4-H Community Club Central.

Secretary, Reporter, and Historian Forms

All secretary minutes and reporter updates can be submitted online. Information received by the 12pm on Wednesday will be highlighted in the 4-H Friday Newsletter sent out weekly.

Club and Committee Charters

4-H Clubs and committees handling finances must have a 4-H charter, which must be renewed annually.  The 4-H Charter formally recognizes a group’s affiliation with 4-H and grants the group permission to use the 4-H Name and Emblem.  Complete details are available at the Wisconsin 4-H Community Club Central.

Health and Photo Forms

Many county, state, and national 4-H events require a health form to enable staff and volunteers to provide basic first aid, respond to medical emergencies, and provide accommodations for youth participants.  Use this form for events, when required.

Permission needs to be granted from parents to use photos and comments of minors for UW-Extension reports, articles, and publications designed for educational, information, and promotional purposes.
