Throughout their 4-H career, young people have ample opportunities to learn and experience leadership. Some of the hands-on leadership opportunities come in the form of officer positions available to 4-H’ers at the county, district and state levels.

4-H offers clubs in many different interest areas. Some 4-H’ers first leadership experience is being a club officer at the county level. It is here that youth learn how to plan and run a meeting. As 4-H’ers build on their leadership skills, they also have the opportunity to run for district and state-level club officer positions.
