4-H Members serve as Club Officers through an election process based on the club's constitution and bylaws. The 4-H Club Officer team works under the guidance of the Club Leader and/or Officer's Advisor. As a team, you plan and lead club meetings. Club Officer positions vary based on the club's needs. Generally, 4-H clubs have a president, vice president, secretary, treasurer and sergeant of arms. See below for descriptions for a Healthy Living Officer and Civic Engagement Officer.

Identifying problems and developing action plans to solve them
Teamwork and group building skills
Taking responsibility for actions
Follow through on goals
Written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills
You can gain self-confidence and practice self-reflection in a safe environment. Youth-adult partnerships support you as you practice leadership skills.
