Owen County 4-H Council seeks members

The Owen County 4-H Council is seeking interested volunteers who would like to join the council starting in October.

The 4-H Council is a nonprofit, volunteer-based organization that supports and enhances the 4-H youth development program. Council members serve a three-year term and meet monthly to plan, discuss and oversee local 4-H activities and initiatives. To be eligible, interested individuals must become registered 4-H volunteers, which includes completing a background check and required training through Purdue University.

Council members typically dedicate between three to 15 hours per month, contributing their time and talents to help shape meaningful experiences for 4-H youth. Responsibilities within the Council focus on specific efforts such as organizing the Scholarship Auction, fundraising for awards and supporting various events throughout the year.

The Council meets from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on the third Monday of each month.

Those interested should contact Cassie Linville at the Purdue Extension-Owen County office, located at 180 S. Washington St., Spencer. Linville can be reached via email at cassel@purdue.edu or by phone at 812-829-5020.
