A group of older 4-H youth (age 13 & older) who participates in community service projects in Fairfield County. Junior Leaders are responsible for planning the 4-H theme for the year and have the opportunity to promote 4-H in the schools in Fairfield County by giving demonstrations and putting up posters. They also help at Summer Judging, Summerfest and the Fairfield County Fair in addition to planning the Advisor's Banquet.

What do we do at the meetings?

Jr. Leaders discuss and plan what is going to happen this year in Fairfield County 4-H. We also play really fun group games. We have four committees in the club, they are as follows: Community Service, Website/Newsletter, Advisor Banquet and Fundraising. The community service committee organizes the community service the club will do. The website/newsletter committee is responsible for writing articles and creating a newsletter informing the county of what the club is doing.  The advisory banquet committee plans the advisors end of the year banquet. The fundraising committee comes up with ideas to raise money to be able to put on a year-end banquet for the 4-H advisors of the county.
