VLT Level 1
Covers the roles and responsibilities of WSU and WSU 4-H volunteers. This session also introduces the 4-H philosophy of hands-on-learning of life skills through project study or 4-H activities. VLT also provides an opportunity for Li-Adams WSU Extension Staff to meet and begin to know the volunteers that will be working directly with our area youth.

VLT Level 2
Continues to explore the "Life Skills" model. Attendees participate in fun, interactive examples of teaching activities that can be incorporated into club, after school, or camp settings. Volunteers receive information on current recourses available to assist with teaching and program roles.
