Thinking about Collegiate 4-H this fall?
We meet every two weeks and have many opportunities for you to volunteer with 4-H members throughout the year. We aim to have something for everyone and fit any schedule. We also offer many other optional volunteer opportunities within the community and on campus, allowing you to meet new people and make a difference in Bloomington and beyond.
What's cool about Collegiate 4-H? We're all the fun of 4-H with more things to choose from and less to commit to! And no 4-H projects. We serve as 4-H volunteers in a very non-traditional way meaning you're not committing to a club year-round or needing to be at every event. Lots of opportunities to select from. And if we don't have the 4-H volunteer opportunity you're looking for, let us know and we'll add it
We're still deciding on a fall meeting day and time, so please let us know which days and times work for you at http://doodle.ch/xucdsv7bt8gp9
so we can try to accommodate the schedules of everyone who's interested. We need your schedule by noon on Friday, August 29th at NOON! We'll announce the new meeting day and time on Friday afternoon. Right now we're thinking about Sunday evenings.
