4-H workshop sponsors needed for 2009-10

4-H volunteer training workshops, held primarily at Kettunen Center, provide teen and adult volunteers with professionally conducted training experiences. Thanks to the generosity of donors, 60 percent of the cost of 4-H workshops is covered for 4-H teen and adult volunteers.

Workshop sponsors are sought for many of the workshops below. Full 4-H workshop sponsorship is $5,000; partial sponsorship is $2,500.
