This is for 4-H professionals to use to introduce volunteer development into every volunteer meeting. Often, starting a business meeting with shared learning and exploration can create a healthy environment. Each of these lessons should take about 15 minutes and include a key element and expectation we have for our 4-H volunteers. Volunteers will hopefully feel supported in their roles and responsibilities, as well as walking away with more tools for them to use when working with 4-H Youth.
