Douglas County 4-H Leadership

4-H Youth Council

Douglas County 4-H Youth Council

A 4-H Youth Council member exceeds beyond the general 4-H member expectations. These members devote extra time throughout the year to lead the 4-H program within their own 4-H clubs, their own communities within Douglas County, and as a group during county-wide events. The Douglas County 4-H County Youth Council works together to organize and lead several activities and events for the Douglas County 4-H Program. Some of these activities include Achievement Night, Leadership Day and June Livestock Show.

Interested in joining?

  • Douglas County Youth Council Meetings are open to all Douglas County 4-H members.  Meetings are held on the first Monday of every month at 5:30 pm for officers and 6:30 pm for general members/club representatives. All are invited and encouraged to attend!  Contact the office (720) 733-6940 for the next meeting date and location!

Bulk Poultry Order

Traditionally every Spring, Douglas County Youth Council facilitates a bulk order for Market Turkeys, Market Chickens and Peking Ducks for our members. Some of the benefits include:

• Save on shipping costs
• Timely arrival of birds for the Douglas County Fair
• No searching at local stores and hoping they get more shipments in
• Help support 4-H Youth Council

Unfortunately, due to HPAI Disease being present in the state of Colorado, we are unable to facilitate this program for 2023 but are looking forward to starting again in 2024! 

4-H Ambassadors

Douglas County Ambassador Program

Ambassadors are seen as the face of Douglas County 4-H! We utilize our ambassadors as leaders within our own 4-H community but also as a connection between 4-H and the general public. Ambassadors provide a presence at 4-H programs and outreach events throughout the year. This program helps 4-Hers develop their public speaking abilities and gain experience in applications, resumes, and job interviewing.

Colorado 4-H Mission
4-H empowers youth to reach their full potential by working and learning in partnership with caring adults.

The Douglas County 4- Leader’s Council meets in the lower-level conference rooms of the Douglas County Extension office every first Monday of the month, unless that Monday is a holiday.
