Facilitator and Chaperone Opportunities

  • What is a Facilitator?

    Volunteers participating as Facilitators are responsible for small groups of 4-H members and work to help members accomplish the goals of the program. Facilitators ensure that all members participate and have an equal opportunity to contribute to the group, as well as answer questions to help with the success of the group.

    Don’t worry, 4-H provides on the job training! Group facilitators can be 4-H alumni, leaders, parents or volunteers. A clear Criminal Record Check, for the purpose of working with youth, is mandatory for all Facilitators. The cost of travel, room and board for Facilitators is covered.

  • What is a Chaperone?

    Chaperones travel on a charter bus or plane with program delegates, carry delegate medical forms, and connect with delegates on route. At programs such as Agri-Career Quest (ACQ) and Youth Action (YA) Chaperones supervise evenings to give group facilitators a break.

    Chaperones can be 4-H alumni, leaders, parents or volunteers. A clear Criminal Record Check, for the purpose of working with youth, is mandatory for all Program Chaperones. The costs of travel, room and board for Chaperones are covered. For PCW and FFT, there is usually one Chaperone from Northern BC and one from Southern BC..
