Georgia 4-H develops youth into young civic-minded leaders who have been shown to make healthier choices. To further the great benefits of this youth development programming, additional volunteer leaders are needed to expand programming reach. This project aims to engage an additional 50 low-income youth per year, in Jackson County, Georgia by expanding 4-H club programming resources and developing leaders in Georgia. Specifically, this AmeriCorps VISTA will increase resources to support youth, recruit and develop volunteers, develop or expand funding streams (through grants and sustainable fundraisers), and expand the number of volunteer-led clubs and volunteer-led initiatives.
We ask you to share this opportunity with individuals who are 18 or older who are passionate about making a difference. There are several benefits of serving. Learn about the education award and more at the AmeriCorps website.
