What is Junior Leaders?

The Junior Leader project allows 4-H members in grades 7-12 the opportunity to provide their Adult 4-H Volunteers with additional assistance in their 4-H Clubs and related activities. Junior Leaders also serve as mentors and role models to the younger 4-H members by sharing their experiences with them. Junior Leaders meet on a monthly basis and plan fundraisers, activities and opportunities for their 4-H program and other 4-Hers in the county. 4-Hers can select Junior Leader's as a project through 4-H Online, and must take at least one other 4-H porject to be a Junior Leader.

The Cass County Junior Leaders communicate through 4-H Online Broadcasts and a group Remind Chat. If you would like to be added to the Remind, please contact Claire Crum at crumc@purdue.edu to receive the link to the chat!
