Volunteer Opportunities From: University of California, Riverside

Yes, start one day at time. Year round our youth participate in projects, build skills, and compete at the local, state, and national level. This means we often need adult helpers, evaluators, set up and clean up help, organization support, and more. If you don't want or can't make a long time commitment, no problem! Check our calendar and sign up for one of our events, projects, or one day trips.

We know school gets busy! Whether your are in college or in the K -12 system, we are all glad for our spring, summer, and winter breaks. So if you don't have time during your quarter/semester but need volunteer experience or are ready to test your skills through a non paid internship, you can be a 4-H leader during your breaks. Day, overnight, and virtual camps are great spaces for you to develop group management, planning, and teamwork skills. They are high intensity (meaning a lot of hours over a short period of time). If you are a leader and like flexibility, this opportunity is for you.

In 4-H, we all learn by doing so if you are passionate about a hobby you have or if you have skills you have built for years, and you want to pass it on, start here! 4-H project leaders set up times and dates, for a minimum of 6 hours or 6 sessions, and youth interested and available can join your project.

To start, fill in this form: https://ucanr.edu/sites/UC4-H/files/241559.pdf or check out these cool project sheets: http://4h.ucanr.edu/Projects/Project_Sheets/.

You can also make your own project! The sky is the limit here.
