4-H Volunteers

4-H Volunteers

Volunteer Email List

UT/TSU Extension Knox County provides services and opportunities to Knox County residents.  Our 4-H program serves students in various schools throughout the county, as well as some county-wide and homeschool groups.  While volunteering as a parent is not a requirement, we are always in need of volunteers. 

Our volunteer email list is a great way to get started as a volunteer and get the latest 4-H event information. You will participate in a monthly Volunteer Leader meeting and be invited to various events during the year that allow us to show our appreciation! Please contact 4-H agent Sharon Davis at sadavis@utk.edu or 865-215-2340 for more information.
