Opportunities in 4-H
4-H abounds with opportunities for youth and adults alike.
Camps
At the state level, 4-H'ers and Adult Volunteers participate in environmental activities, or camps,
many of which are held at the
C.A. Vines
4-H Center in Ferndale, Arkansas.
Volunteers
Volunteers are the backbone of the Arkansas 4-H Program. Adult Volunteer Leaders can lead clubs
or assist with particular activities. Our Adult Volunteer Leaders also encourage a spirit of
volunteerism among Arkansas youth.
Youth Leadership
There are a variety of state programs Arkansas 4-H'ers can apply for that recognize and develop
youth leadership skills, such as State 4-H Officers or the Ambassador Program.
Recognition of Excellence
4-H strongly pursues opportunities to recognize excellence for our volunteers, activity winners,
scholarship winners, clubs, community service participants and donors to the Arkansas State 4-H
Foundation.
Competitive Activities
Competitive events contribute to the goal of developing life skills so 4-H'ers can become
self-directing, productive and contributing citizens. 4-H competitions may be against one's personal
best achievement, against a previously determined standard of excellence or against one's peers.
Program Descriptions
The
4-H Events Packet, revised annually, contains basic applications and information on many
4-H Activities at the state level. Also, check with your
