There is a returning position open now for the University of Illinois Extensions Christian County 4-H Program. The position is the Extension Program Coordinator for the Christian County 4-H, Unit 18, based out of Taylorville. This dynamic position requires leadership skills, organization, coordination of educational activities, and building relationships with the 4-H’ers, parents, and the community.
Sara Marten, County Director for the Christian County 4-H explains that communicating with the youth might be a strength for some, but it takes many modes of communication for the Program Coordinator spot.
The Program Coordinator will have duties such as screening and hiring volunteers, training and educating on the ways of 4-H, and other safety aspects that come with the largest out-of-school youth education organization in the state.
Marten lays out some of the qualifications for the position.
Marten says no two days are the same with the Christian County 4-H and for coordinators, days can be chaotic, but the reward and impact are priceless.
