University of Maine Cooperative Extension plans to offer a two-part online training for adults interested in becoming 4-H volunteers.

The training is scheduled for 6 p.m. Thursdays, Oct. 19 and Oct. 26.

“Start Your 4-H Volunteer Journey” will explore the ways volunteers can become involved with UMaine Extension 4-H, what the 4-H youth development program is about and requirements for becoming a volunteer. Participants will also hear from youth and volunteers currently active in Extension 4-H and do a hands-on activity together, according to a news release from the Orono-based UMaine extension office.

The training is free; registration is required by Wednesday, Oct. 12. To register, visit extension.umaine.edu.
