Teen Leaders: We are seeking certified teen leaders to serve in various leadership roles, such as workshop instructors, community service leaders, or recreation leaders. Not only are they key to help make Junior Conference a success, but they are also an excellent portfolio opportunity for high school aged 4-H’ers! Teen leaders must commit to the entire weekend because they will have other duties in addition to their selected role; there are no exceptions to this. Selected teens must be Teen Leader II certified. No other teen leaders are allowed to attend Junior Conference. Unfortunately, due to scheduling conflicts, teen leaders may only apply for one teen leader opportunity. Additionally, with scheduling conflicting with rehearsals, Clovers & Co. members are not able to apply.
· Teen leader registration is $50.00/participant and includes Saturday lunch and dinner, lodging, and Sunday breakfast.
· Workshop Instructor: Based on their application, selected teen leaders will teach a prepared workshop on one of the Georgia 4- H content areas. Workshop instructors will teach their assigned lesson four times throughout the weekend.
· Recreation Leader: Based on their experience and hobbies listed on the application, selected teen leaders will be assigned to lead participants in various recreation options.
· Community Service Leader: Selected community service projects should be easy to do in a short time frame and provide something for a group in need. Examples are letters to military families or 4-H donors, decorations for a senior center, caps for cancer patients, etc. Selected teen leaders must supply materials and may submit receipts for reimbursement of supplies up to $30.00.
