All 4-H Youth Development volunteers working with youth are required
to complete the Wisconsin 4-H Youth Protection program. This includes:
- a background check for arrest and conviction records,
- participation in a volunteer orientation program, and
- signing the Volunteer Behavior Expectations form.
The primary purpose of this process is to ensure the safety and
well-being of all participants (i.e., youth, their parents and families,
salaried and volunteer staff.)
