Applications are now being accepted for Key Leader and Assistant Key Leader positions in all Livestock project areas.
Due to duties around the County Fair being split between Extension and The Ranch, we are better defining the two distinct roles of “Key Leaders” (a 4-H, year-round educational role) and “County Fair Superintendents” (manage the competition at the County Fair only). In the past, these have often been combined. However now that they are separated, there will be two distinct application processes for Livestock only, so we know who is interested in one or both roles as we move forward with this segregation of duties. No changes will be made to other project areas at this time. Larimer County Extension will select Key Leaders and The Ranch will solicit for and select County Fair Superintendents.
All current Key Leaders in the Livestock project areas must re-apply this year. Current Key Leaders in other project areas do not need to re-apply at this time. The Ranch will be posting applications to become a County Fair Superintendent in the coming weeks. We will alert you when that happens.
If you are interested in helping to organize and run educational project activities throughout the year, you may want to be a Key Leader in that project area. Key Leaders will work with their chosen area to help organize and/or lead educational activities, schedule workshops and clinics, run check-ins, oversee set up and clean up, give direction, and answer questions.
Assistant Leaders will support the Key Leader in that area, helping with all aspects of the workshops and/or contest activities.
Please consider these fun opportunities to support the Larimer County 4-H Livestock program. The Job Description and Application are available for download.
