4-H Youth Volunteer Opportunities
We are offering a few volunteer opportunities for older 4-H youth to grow as leaders this summer. Our summer workshop program has taken off and we have registrations coming in daily. This means that the classes are filling up fast and we are going to need a few extra hands to help some of the younger participants. We also have some new things happening at fair that are designed for older youth involvement.
Click on the following link to view the opportunities where we could use your expertise. Sign up for the times that work best for you. For more information contact Megan.
Face to Face LQA Training Rescheduled

If you cannot make it you can always take the NEW YQCA course at yqca.learngrow.io. You will use your FAMILY 4HOnline login and password information to access the courses for the ACTIVE youth in your family. Only ACTIVE members will show in the drop down menu for access to the course. All registration questions with YQCA should be directed to help@yqca.org. All 4-Hers need to use the 4-H tab and not the FFA tab even if they are members of both organizations.

NEBRASKA 4-H & FFA LICENSE PLATE
Take your support of “Making the Best Better” and “Learning to Do” wherever you go with the new license plates showcasing Nebraska 4-H and Nebraska FFA! The Nebraska 4-H Foundation and Nebraska FFA Association in cooperation with the Nebraska FFA Alumni, have teamed up to create the first-ever license plate supporting the two largest youth organizations in Nebraska. Similar to other organizational specialty license plates, there must be 250 applications received before the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles will begin issuing this organizational plate. Order yours today by filling out the application form at http://ne4hfoundation.org and mailing it along with the $70 fee to the Nebraska 4-H Foundation. Be one of the first 4-H and FFA license plate owners and show the world you are an advocate of these outstanding youth organizations.
