Community Club Leader
A person who works with a 4-H community club’s function is to assist the club’s members in planning the annual club program, conducting club business, and enrolling individually or as a group in one or more 4-H projects. Members of a community club are usually from a small geographic area.

Project Club Leaders
This position is nearly identical to the Community Club Leader with two important exceptions: the project leader is an “expert” or serves as a resource in one specific project area.  Project clubs are usually county-wide and are not restricted to specific locations within the county.  Most 4-H clubs meet at least once a month.  Leaders are responsible for the planning and preparation of each club meeting. 

Special Interest Groups
Leaders for a Special Interest Project may work with youth on a particular activity.  For example, the leaders may only be interested in working with a gardening project for a limited amount of time.

School Enrichment Volunteer
Any individual, often a classroom teacher, who works with a 4-H program in a formal classroom setting.  This program may be either short- or long-term (throughout the school year). School enrichment programs are offered during school hours to enrich the formal education experience.  A school enrichment program focuses on hands-on experiences and provides real-life application of knowledge gained, increasing the understanding of difficult concepts, development of life skills, and fosters the development of youth as young adults.
