The Texas 4-H Program is focused on the development of youth through the utilization of volunteers at the club and county level. In order for our club managers, project leaders, and volunteers to understand the correct way to manage the 4-H program at the local and county level the Texas 4-H Management Guide has been developed.

The Texas 4-H Management Guide allows exploration of many different topics ranging from explanations of the eight different delivery methods of the 4-H program to the ways to properly use the 4-H name and emblem. All of these explanations and experiences are important for managing a quality 4-H program. There are a few key documents that everyone should be familiar with regardless of whether you are an agent, volunteer, 4-H member or any other individual interested in the Texas 4-H Program. Please be sure to print and review the documents below before you proceed on your journey as a youth development leader in Texas 4-H.
