Program Assistant

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

The Program Assistant will work closely with the Weber County 4-H Program Coordinator and other 4-H staff to provide high-quality 4-H opportunities for youth and families throughout Weber County. This position is a collaborative member of the county 4-H team, with assignments and responsibilities based on the priorities and needs of the overall Weber County 4-H program.

Weber County 4-H offers a wide variety of opportunities for young people through community and project clubs, camps, contests, events, and leadership experiences. Current program areas include horse, robotics and STEM, family and consumer sciences, livestock, leadership, and other youth interests. The Program Assistant does not need to be an expert in all of these areas. Instead, the position helps the 4-H team recruit and support the volunteers and leaders who bring knowledge, enthusiasm, and experience to these different programs.

A major emphasis of the position will be recruiting and supporting volunteers, strengthening 4-H clubs, supporting youth and families, coordinating events and activities, and helping the Weber County 4-H team successfully carry out its program priorities.

Rather than functioning as an independent program or primarily as a direct content‑delivery position, the Program Assistant will work as part of the Weber County 4-H team to build the volunteer and organizational capacity needed to provide sustainable 4-H opportunities.
