Our over 70 adult volunteers work together with youth to help them reach their fullest potential, while strengthening the community as a whole. We have 11 separate 4-H clubs each of which operates under the direction of a Community Club Leader (CCL), Project Leaders and a team of 4-H officers.
In Addition, we have several community partners in San Luis Obispo that include local libraries, non-profits, and schools.
