Youth Leadership Opportunities
Leadership is a huge skill taught in 4-H. Starting from the first 4-H club meeting at the local level to national 4-H events, you will see 4-H members serving in leadership roles. Through 4-H, youth learn how to conduct a meeting, how speak in front of large groups, and how to help others become even more successful. Don't worry! Your leadership skills grow with you. A person will start slow and add as comfort level increases.
On the state level, the Texas 4-H Program is lead by several statewide groups, each serving a special need to make the 4-H program as successful as it is. To learn more about these leadership and how you may get in involved visit their sites below.

On the district, county, and local club levels, 4-H members serve as officers along with a adult who serves as an advisor or club/project leader. Usually, club officers are elected at the end of a 4-H year, or the very first of the year. Typically, a club will have at least 5 to 7 club officers.
As you become involved in your 4-H club, you will have opportunities to provide leadership in an elected, appointed, or promotion format. Take advantage of all of them, and see the difference you can make.
