We are looking to update this website: https://4h.unl.edu/resources/club-leaders#teaching with new activities and projects that 4-H volunteers could use with 4-H youth in the community club, workshop and/or short term program setting. If you were an author or the team lead for the outcome area of one of the activities/lessons already listed on this link, it will be removed after March 1, 2021, unless an updated version is submitted. Don’t see your expertise area on this list? We welcome new content areas, see the list below.
After March 1, 2021, the Volunteer Resources team and the Curriculum Development Interest Team will work together to ensure the activities/lessons are vetted through both groups and meet the qualities of the curriculum review process. See more information about the curriculum development process here: Curriculum Development Roundabout Exchange model.
