West Virginia University Extension Service 4-H Youth Development
Workshop goal:
West Virginia 4-H All Stars by constitution may nominate
any 4-H member or volunteer leader meeting the
requirements as stated in the Constitution. Both
members and leaders are approver on their quality of
service provided to the 4-H program and their
community.
Annually, nominees are not approved by the state All
Star screening committee because the listed
involvement does not describe the service specifically or
just list offices held and/or committee membership. After
attending this workshop, you will be able to get all of
your qualified nominees selected, and you will be able
to train All Stars in your county how to do a better job,
also.
