4-H EZ Club Resources

As clubs are thinking about ways to engage additional volunteers, split duties, change-up their club meetings, or more, the North Central Region Volunteer Specialists provides a great resource called 4-H EZ: Recipe for 4-H Community Club Success. Please find those resources here: https://fyi.extension.wisc.edu/ncrvd/4-h-ez-recipe-for-4-h-club-success/.

These modules have been created for youth (including teen leaders and 4-H Club Officers) and adult 4-H volunteers, as well as Extension professionals. Each module includes a series of tips, resources, and activities to help make operating your 4-H club “EZ”. The goal is to share promising practices of organizing a 4-H Club that youth and adult volunteers can implement together.

These resources can be viewed online individually or led in a face-to-face group setting. These topics can stand alone, but have been designed to build upon one another.
