2008 Monsanto 4-H Volunteer Initiative Grants Awarded
Funding for 2008 4-H Volunteer Initiative Grants funded by Monsanto in partnership with National 4-H Council was awarded to four Extension regions, all 50 states and three U.S. territories to support their 2008 4-H Volunteer Forums or event equivalents.
This is the second year of a two-year $500,000 award from Monsanto Company to create hands-on training experiences for 4-H’s 540,000 volunteers, who provide 4-H youth across America with opportunities to learn leadership, citizenship and life skills.
Through regional and state 4-H volunteer development events, 4-H volunteers will network with each other and learn about innovative programs that will help them bring fresh perspectives and activities to their local 4-H programs. They also will consider how to recruit, retain, recognize and promote 4-H volunteers nationally, regionally and locally. Monsanto provided early funding to help make the National 4-H Salute to Excellence Volunteer Awards—recognizing top 4-H volunteer leaders across the nation—possible.
