4-H Volunteer and Youth Training Workshops

Michigan 4-H Youth Development annually offers a variety of adult training and youth development events at Kettunen Center.

These events range from content- and subject matter-specific workshops to youth development and leadership development-focused sessions. These events are designed to build skills and knowledge of adults who volunteer or work with young people in non-formal educational settings. The learning lab events are designed to provide young people with hands-on developmental or subject matter experiences.

To register for the workshops below, contact your county MSU Extension office. The complete 4-H Volunteer and Youth Training Workshop schedule and participant requirements are available at http://www.msue.msu.edu/msue/cyf/youth/4htrain.html.
