Early application is strongly encouraged. Oregon State University Extension's 4-H Program Youth Mentor will provide hands-on educational activities with youth grades K-12 in Douglas County with the main focus on younger children ages 5-8 years of age. Activities would include educational programming including healthy living, natural resources, and science based activities. A majority of the activities will take place in a club type setting focusing on Cloverbuds (5-8 year olds). The member will also assist in building a sustainable Cloverbud program and volunteer base. The member will also work with youth in grades 7-12 as a mentor and trainer. This will entail helping the older youth to prepare for becoming camp counselors in two settings: day camps with youth K-3 and resident camp with youth in grades 4-6.
