From Friday, January 31 to Sunday, February 2, 4-H volunteers from across the state gathered in Greensboro, NC, for the Annual Volunteer Leaders Conference. This event allowed volunteers to attend workshops, share ideas, and be recognized for their work with 4-H.
Volunteers participated in workshops on youth development, arts and crafts, electric projects, and more. On Saturday evening, there was a formal dinner and awards banquet. The event wrapped up on Sunday with the installation of district and state officers.
