Authorized 4-H Adults' Background Check Fees to be Paid by AZ4-HYF for the Next Six Years
As you each know, 4-H is a community-based program that relies heavily on caring adult volunteers. University Arizona Cooperative Extension, in partnership with the Arizona 4-H Youth Foundation will cover the costs of volunteer background checks for the next six years starting July 1, 2021. While volunteer background checks are required for all the University Arizona Cooperative Extension authorized 4-H adults, many authorized 4-H adults have generously covered their own costs for the background check in the past.
Arizona 4-H Youth Foundation Director, Deb Lester, says, “We cannot reach our goal of 20,000 True Leaders by 2025 without first supporting our volunteers, and this was identified as the greatest burden and barrier by you, our caring adults. We are proud we can help say thank you for all of your hard work.”
