4-H Volunteers

Buncombe County 4-H Needs You!

Volunteers are the key to success in the Buncombe County 4-H program. Whether you’re interested in starting a club and becoming a club leader or just have a few hours to invest in upcoming 4-H programs, we have challenging and fun jobs for adults and teens who want to make a difference in the lives of Buncombe County youth!

Why Should I Volunteer with 4-H?

In 4‑H, we believe in the power of young people. We see that every child has valuable strengths and real influence to improve the world around us. Through the efforts of our 4-H volunteers, 4-H participants gain knowledge and life skills enabling them to become positive, productive, capable, and compassionate members of their communities. YOU TOO can make a difference in the life of a young person.
