Contact Leaders provide organizational support to youth enrolled in 4-H. They assist youth in planning club meetings, registering for events, and getting the most out of their experience.

Project Leaders introduce projects to members and parents. They help members decide on things they want to do for their project work, review progress, and recognize their accomplishments. In addition, they conduct project group workshops, one-on-one teaching, tours and/or field trips. They help members keep necessary records and prepare for exhibits.

Project Exhibit Judges provide learning opporuntities for 4-H'ers through conference judging, a conversation with the 4-H'er about their project and what was learned. Judges decide on awards using pre-determined project standards.
