Volunteer Enrollment FAQ

There are three types of volunteers in St. Joseph County 4-H, and there can be overlap between them.

Every volunteer signing up for 4-H on 4-H Online will sign up as a PROJECT VOLUNTEER.

If you are a club leader/assistant club leader (i.e. Greene Township, German Township, etc.), a member of the 4-H Council or the 4-H Fair Board, a volunteer working specifically with Juntos 4-H, 4-H Project Discover, Next Chapter 4-H, or any school based/community-based 4-H programs, OR you are a Shooting Sports Coordinator/Instructor/Associate Instructor, you will sign up as a CLUB VOLUNTEER IN ADDITION TO PROJECT VOLUNTEER.

If you volunteer with Spark Club or are a Purdue Extension Employee, you will sign up as a PROGRAM VOLUNTEER IN ADDITION TO PROJECT VOLUNTEER.
