Get Involved: Volunteer with Texas 4-H

4-H students are leaders. They pursue passions. They solve problems and tackle everyday challenges. Most importantly, YOU are the key to their success! We need adult volunteers to mentor 4-H youth, lead local clubs, and run events. No experience necessary – we’ll train you! However, you must be at least 18 years old (or 21 years old to chaperone overnight trips) and pass a criminal background check outlined in the Extension Volunteer Standards to learn about what goes into working with youth under 18.

You decide the level of involvement that fits your skills and schedule, such as:

  • Lead community clubs, school-based or after-school programs and camp settings
  • Serve as chaperone, board member, event judge or camp counselor.
  • Create community service opportunities for youth in your area
  • Work with other adults to create fun and exciting programs

Whether you choose to call, email, or visit in person, your county office is ready to guide you through the process and help you get started with Texas 4-H. To find contact information, just click the first letter of your county name.
