for a total 6 hours of training and
can be taken in any order.
(For those who can't
or prefer not to take both Parts on the same day.) VLT sessions are conducted by by Bridget Rohner,

VLT
Part 1
Approximately 3 hours. 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 Part 2
Approximately 3 hours. 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 eceive information on current resources available to assist with teaching and program roles.
