Volunteer Training and Development

North Central Region Volunteer Forum

The North Central Region Volunteer Forum is an opportunity for volunteers to connect with Extension professionals and other volunteers from across a twelve state region, which includes the states of Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, and South Dakota.  The Forum also provides volunteers with a chance to gain knowledge and skills that can be used and shared as they work with 4-H youth in their own state, county, and community.

Volunteers who work with 4-H youth in any capacity may participate in the North Central Region Volunteer Forum.
