Abstract
The concept of volunteer competencies has been discussed in many forums. Project leaders and volunteers play vital roles in the success of 4-H programs in Kansas. They contribute considerable time and effort in carrying out their responsibilities. One hundred and eighty five (185) faculty and staff, including administrators, agents, specialists, program assistants, and office professionals, randomly selected from the 105 counties in Kansas, clarified volunteers' competencies needed for effective volunteer participation in the state's 4-H Youth program. Fifty seven (57) competencies were identified and placed into four(4) categories: "Professionalism," "Working with youth and adults," "Knowledge of the program," and "Planning and organizing programs."
