Become an Extension Volunteer

Our Extension employees would not be able to do the job we do helping Arkansans were it not for the assistance of our dedicated volunteer community. There are many volunteer opportunities within our organization. Whether your interests include working with kids, your community, or plants and flowers, your local county Extension office can help you get involved and make a difference. The best part is that by volunteering, you're learning new skills and expertise while working alongside our agents and specialists. 

4-H Volunteers

All 4-H clubs must have an adult leader. That means our volunteers are crucial to the success of this amazing youth development program. Coordinating and conducting local, regional, and state events, some volunteers work one event and others donate a few hours per week. Each club is required to have two unrelated adult volunteers.

Extension Get Fit Program

The Extension Get Fit program is in almost every county throughout the state and costs only $20 per year for twice weekly classes. Dedicated volunteers lead these programs at the county level. We would love to have your help encouraging healthy behaviors in your family and neighbors!
