We are looking for people to **SPARK** the interest of young people in our community and help them to get involved in 4-H. If you have something that you enjoy doing that would fall under the categories of Citizenship, Health, or Science; we would love to hear from you! Programs should be a minimum of 6 hours. Please contact the Extension Office at 812-435-5287 if you or someone you know may be interested in leading a **SPARK** Club in Vanderburgh County! We look forward to hearing from you.
