Family Life

Overview

• Family Life Volunteer Position Description

4-H gives youth opportunities to learn skills associated with nurturing families. Kentucky 4-H believes that all youth should have opportunities for positive youth development in our four guiding concepts:  mastery, belonging, independence, and generosity.  This program fosters mastery by learning about family communication, relationships, developmental ages and stages, individual and cultural differences, and healthy living, belonging by being part of a club or group led by caring adults, independence by accepting responsibility for one's own actions, and generosity by caring for others.  Contact your county extension office for more information (link).
