Cass County Volunteer Recognition
We are honored to recognize the valuable 4- H leaders and volunteers we have right here in Cass County! Adult volunteers may be nominated by other adults or youth, and may nominate themselves. The county level award winners will be selected by our local 4-H Council from the pool of nominations forms we receive.
The 4-H Council is a group of 9 adults and 9 youth (14 years 4-H age and older) which provide support to the Extension staff, assist in determining the direction of the 4-H program, provide support and assistance to 4-H volunteers, and support 4-H members in the program. Adults serve three year terms; youth serve one year.
Strong councils provides local input to the 4-H program. 4-H councils help provide additional funds to support 4-H programs through scholarships to 4-Hers for events and college, for leader forums, and for awards offered at county events. Additionally, 4-H councils help fund buildings on fairgrounds, staff hires, and other expenditures. Providing direction to 4-H programs strengthens the entire state 4-H system. Having a strong relationship is critical to a strong 4-H Youth Development Program.
It’s an honor to serve on the 4-H Council. If you are interested in serving, contact the Extension Office. Elections are held each fall in November.
