Mentors

We cannot wait until there are enough women in these areas of the workforce to act as role models for the next generation. Therefore, it is necessary to promote a mentorship program that encourages older female 4-H members who have taken science related 4-H projects to act as mentors for younger members wanting to investigate similar areas. If you're interested in being a mentor, here's some ways to get involved:

§ Seek out a member in your local club and volunteer to help her work through the activities in her project book.

§ Contact your local 4-H Educator and volunteer to help with a 4-H afterschool programs at local elementary schools.

§ Get involved with other 4-H opportunities that involve outreach to younger youth.
