Volunteer Leader
Forum
Rock Eagle 4-H Center
October 4-7, 2001
SRLF- Mission
The mission of the Southern Region
4-H Volunteer Leader Forum is to
increase the capacity of volunteer
and salaried staff to contribute to the
achievement of the mission of the 4H youth development and the
Cooperative Extension system as a
whole.
SRLF - Purpose
The primary purpose of the Forum is to
educate and prepare participants to share
what they learned back home. Participants
benefit from the experiential learning
activities which require them to discuss,
use, and apply what they learn. The
ultimate application is for individuals and
teams to teach others what they learn.

Rock Eagle 4-H Center
Located on 1500 acres of forested land with
a 110 acre lake, the Rock Eagle 4-H Center
allows a modern, comfortable, and relaxed
atmosphere not only for learning, but for
conferences and group meetings as
well. Named after a large prehistoric quartz
effigy, the center opened in May of 1955 for
the Georgia 4-H Summer Camping
Program. Since that time, environmental
education participants, 4-H club members,
and numerous other youth groups and adult
organizations from the United States and
around the world have met at Rock Eagle.
