NC 4-H Volunteer Leaders' Association represents volunteers involved with the 4-H program. Membership in the Association is open to every 4-H volunteer leader who works directly or indirectly with youth. The educational philosophy is to promote leaders teaming with leaders and growing in leadership through utilization of leadership skills in practical planning, implementation and evaluation.
