What does it mean to be a certified volunteer instructor?
Young people who join the 4-H Shooting Sports program are taught firearm and archery safety by an adult volunteer who has attended a two-day workshop. This workshop equips volunteers with the techniques needed to instruct and mentor youth. “Lead” instructors, or those who must sign and verify that youth have received the required training, must be certified. All county-level practices must be conducted with at least one certified instructor present in each discipline area as appropriate.
