Thirty adult volunteers serve in a leadership role for 4-H projects and clubs throughout Lake County. Volunteers organize and run club meetings, provide project instruction in more than 40 project areas, coordinate and contribute to events, for fundraising activities, and lead workshops, training, and numerous leadership activities. In the Lake County 4-H program, more than 2,000 volunteer hours were contributed to youth development, an equivalent to more than $55,000 in value.
