WELCOME New 4-H Volunteers

Completing the 4-H Volunteer Intake Steps

There are four main categories required to complete the volunteer intake process.
​
1.) The first is to identify a club or program that you want to volunteer with.
2.) The second is to receive volunteer clearance.
3.) The third is to complete volunteer training.
4.) Once these three main steps are complete then the county director will approve and activate the volunteer status.

​We've broken these steps into a checklist format below to help make the process a little easier. If you need help with these steps then let us know.

STEP ONE:
Find a 4-H Club or Program.
Connect with club leadership to let them know you'd like to volunteer with their club and what role or capacity you'd like (i.e. project leader, fundraising committee, etc.)
STEP TWO:
​Complete the Volunteer Interest Survey
STEP THREE:
Enroll as a 4-H Adult Volunteer. New volunteers will need to create a profile in the 4HOnline system.
STEP FOUR:
Complete and turn in the Adult Medical Release forms to the club or program
Email the complete form to Badger Creek 4-H
STEP FIVE:
Pay the annual Adult Enrollment Fee. This is not connected to the 4-H Online system which is why it's a separate step.
STEP SIX:
Complete the CA DOJ Fingerprint LiveScan. Print the form below and take it with you.
STEP SEVEN:
Complete Online CA New Volunteer eXtension Training. You will need to create a New Log-in. The course code is the county you're registering in.
STEP EIGHT:
Complete In-Person Volunteer Orientation
STEP NINE:

​Receive County Director Approval.
Once all the above steps are completed, your file will move on to the County Director for approval. Once approved, your status will be listed as active and you may begin volunteering with your club or program.
