***New*** Required Training for all 4-H Advisors / Volunteers

In accordance with Ohio State University policy 1.50, effective January 1, 2015 all 4-H advisors and volunteers are required to complete an annual training session focused on recognizing and reporting the signs of child abuse and neglect as well as other important details related to your responsibilities as a 4-H advisor / volunteer.

The Wayne County Extension Office will offer 5 training sessions in 2015.  All 4-H advisors / volunteers must attend one of these required sessions to be eligible to serve as a 4-H advisor / volunteer in 2015.  The dates and times for the training sessions are listed below.

In addition to the required training topics, these sessions will also feature updates about new projects, project requirements, fair rule changes, and breakout sessions on a variety of topics to help with club meetings and activities.
