2008 4-H Choose Health and More Volunteer Forum (historical information). The 4-H Choose Health and More Volunteer Forum was held November 14-15, 2008 at the Auburn Holiday Inn. Over 70 volunteers, both teens and adults, and 4-H staff attended the 2008 Volunteer Forum. Building on last year's success, we revisited the 4-H Choose Health focus and added a Science spin, and some options to support 4-H club leaders. A special designated track was offered for your new 4-H Choose Health Ambassadors and adult partners. Something for everyone, as you can see in the 2008 materials below.
