Volunteer Training Hours

I would like to remind all Clinton County 4-H Volunteers of the 6 hour training requirement.  This was put in place to provide training opportunities for the Clinton County 4-H Volunteers in order to improve and grow the current 4-H program.  It really should be asset for our volunteers.  This will run with the 4-H year October 1st to September 30th.  So, this means you have less than 4 months to complete your trainings.  If you have questions or concerns regarding your trainings, please contact me, Rebecca Sellers at (570) 726-0022 ext. 131 or rad5003@psu.edu.
