4-H Volunteer Hours Reporting
ON-LINE Volunteer Hours Reporting is REQUIRED for all enrolled WSU volunteers!
Statistics (value of volunteer hours) based in input could help save 4-H and other Extension programs in tight budget times!
If you have computer access with adequate speed, PLEASE ENTER YOUR OWN HOURS ON-LINE !! It's not hard! OR ask someone in your club to enter your hours for you!
If you are unable to access the on-line hours reporting system, due to no or slow internet service and can't find another leader, teen, or friend to enter for you, Extension will enter Lincoln-Adams 4-H Volunteer hours as time permits. However, please use this option only if necessary!
Many of you expect or encourage 4-H members to keep records on their 4-H activities. What about you?

2013 Western Regional Leaders Forum is in Hawaii!
March 21-24, 2013, at the Waikiki Marriott in Honolulu Volunteers & Teens can submit Workshop Proposals!
The goal of the Western Region 4-H Leaders’ Forum 2013 is to provide training opportunities for adults and teens that serve 4-H youth in our communities.
The workshops at the WRLF 2013 will inspire and enable adults and youth to gain a better understanding of themselves, others, and their world as we continue to Strive for Excellence. Developing life skills will help participants grow and become more capable contributors to 4-H families, clubs, and communities. The workshops should emphasize leadership, communication, science, technology, and cultural experiences. Workshops utilizing an experiential, hands-on format to involve participants are preferred but others will be thoughtfully considered.,?
See the workshop proposal form due May 15th. Direct questions to one of the contact individuals listed on the form. Please share this with colleagues and adult and teen volunteers. The 4-H members, leaders, families, and faculty and staff at the University of Hawaii look forward to seeing you next March.
TEENS ARE WELCOME: Youth will be fully involved in the WRLF 2013 as participants and presenters. Presenters may target a particular audience; however, workshops will be open to all participants.
