Self-assessment of leadership skills by 4-H volunteer leaders in the Southern region of the United States

This assessment provides information to the professionals who work in the 4-H program to assist in involving more volunteers in the 4-H program, in developing community leaders, and in meeting the training needs of current and potential leaders. The effectiveness with which an agency practices volunteer development is dependent on how well the professional personnel in the agency know the current and potential volunteers and how well the needs of these volunteers are recognized and met.
