Each program year, Michigan 4-H, with support from the Michigan 4-H Foundation, donors and other supporters, offers volunteer skills trainings at sites across Michigan. Each workshop provides participants with the necessary skills to become knowledgeable in a variety of subjects.
Workshops being offered this February are:
- 4-H Veterinary Science Teen and Adult Leaders Workshop, Feb. 27-28: Adult and teen volunteers will explore animal systems and learn about animal health for a broad array of animal species. Participants will learn from others, share information and experiences and ask veterinarians questions about their careers. Other activities include hands-on demonstrations that will teach attendees how to help members recognize healthy, sick and/or injured animals. For more information on this workshop, visit the 4-H Veterinary Science Teen and Adult Leaders Workshop registration page. This event will take place at the Kettunen Center in Tustin, Michigan.
- 4-H Beef, Sheep and Swine Teen and Adult Leaders Workshop, Feb. 28-March 1: This workshop is designated for both teen and adult leaders in beef cattle, sheep and swine projects. Topics to be covered during the workshop include animal health, management and nutrition.
