Utah State University Extension is seeking an organized, enthusiastic, youth-focused individual to serve as a Youth Educator on the Weber County 4-H team.

This position will work with the Weber County 4-H team to provide high-quality youth programming throughout the community, with an emphasis on STEM, youth education and hands‑on learning opportunities. This position will focus on expanding 4-H outreach while helping youth and families become more engaged in the program. Responsibilities will include organizing and teaching summer Aggie Camps and other educational programs related to STEM that provide engaging, hands‑on learning experiences for youth.

A key goal will be recruiting and supporting parents and community members as 4-H volunteers, strengthening and growing 4-H clubs, supporting youth and families, coordinating events and activities, and working collaboratively with the Weber County 4-H team to successfully carry out program priorities and expand the reach and impact of 4-H in the community.

The Youth Educator is one member of the Weber County 4-H team and reports to the Weber County 4-H Program Coordinator. The Program Coordinator provides overall leadership and direction for the Weber County 4-H program, establishes program priorities, coordinates staff responsibilities, and determines how the team's resources can best be used to serve youth and families. The Youth Educator works collaboratively with the Program Coordinator and other 4-H staff to carry out those priorities.

Responsibilities may shift throughout the year based on program needs, events, volunteer needs, and the overall team workload.
