The leadership academy is a network of Montana 4-H members interested in exploring and developing their own leadership skills while serving their county 4-H program in new ways. 
 
Each month the officer team members will present a different workshop topic that they have found to be important as they have grown their own leadership abilities. This workshop should be paired with a local county leadership meeting to work on county projects that serve the local 4-H program and community. 

 

We encourage including younger 4-H member 12-13 in these training opportunities. The workshops will be focuused on basic leadership skills to get 4-H'ers more prepared as they move into larger and more demanding leadership roles, like camp counselors, teen leaderes and county ambassadors. The following agenda is currently being planned. 

All workshops are held on Sunday afternoons from 6:00 to 7:00.  Zoom links for each workshop session will be emailed to county and traibal MSU Extension offices and can be shared locally.
