The New Volunteer Orientation (NVO) is a requirement for volunteer candidates. NVO’s provide a “Learn To Do By Doing” experience. This two-hour orientation provides hands-on experience and information in order to equip volunteer candidates with the necessary skills and knowledge they will require to volunteer with 4-H.
Topics covered include:
- what is 4-H
- club management
- risk management
- local association roles
- and responsibilities and programming opportunities for members
These sessions are designed for those who have not previously volunteered with 4-H, including Youth Directors.
Self-Directed New Volunteer Orientation
4-H Ontario’s Volunteer Support Staff is pleased to offer a self-directed NVO through our Learning Management System (LMS).
This flexible session allows volunteer candidates to complete their orientation from the comfort of home, at a time that works best for them. The session includes approximately one hour of video content, with short quiz questions integrated throughout. A minimum score of 9 out of 12 is required to successfully complete the orientation.
Live NVO Session
- To request a live training session via zoom, please contact your local Volunteer Support Staff. A minimum of six participants must be registered for the session to run. Be sure to register at least one week in advance of your preferred training date.
