Provincial 4-H Key Leader Training

Dates: Oct 2009 | Location: 4-H Centre, BATTLE LAKE AB | Information

Key Leaders are an integral part of the 4‑H structure. As a result of their previous 4‑H volunteer Leader experience, Key Leaders are versed in the ways of club conduct, the needs of the club, the structure of the 4‑H program and the resources that exist within the club, district and community. Key Leaders prove to be an excellent resource for newly founded clubs and newly selected club Leaders, by providing training on 4‑H procedures, meeting management and 4‑H related programs and make themselves accessible to those needing assistance. Key Leaders ensure that they make themselves known to the district, and have the knowledge to serve as a resource to clubs, committees and councils.

If you would like more information on becoming a Key Leader, contact the 4‑H specialist in your region or Jocelyn McKinnon.
