About this event

Join a regional site on August 14th for the 11th annual South Carolina 4-H Volunteer Leaders Symposium to Spark your "Why".

This year, we are hosting four regional sites for volunteers to gather and connect to a statewide audience. We will host a hands-on symposium in the morning ($5) to Spark your "Why" as volunteers and how you can set youth on a trajectory to thrive. Lunch will be on your own. An optional afternoon session (additional $5) will continue the connection and learning experience with your fellow 4-H volunteers in a fun and engaging way. Each site has a different afternoon session planned. You may choose your site based on your geography and/or desired afternoon session. 

Regional locations:

• Upstate - T. Ed Garrison Arena in Clemson, SC -  In the afternoon, come tour the Clemson University Pickens Bend Shooting Range, learn about 4-H Shooting Sports opportunities and ways to connect youth to your own clubs, and test your shot at the range.

• Midlands - Sandhill Research and Education Center in Columbia, SC  - Ever wonder how to kick off a meeting with ice breakers and get-to-know-you activities? Look no further! The afternoon will be spent around the grounds of the Sandhills REC learning how to make meetings more comfortable and fun for everyone. 

• Pee Dee - Marion County Cooperative Extension Office in Mullins, SC  - TBD. 

• Savannah Valley - Orangeburg County Cooperative Extension Office in Orangeburg, SC  - TBD.
