About US Mission The mission of the Southern Region 4-H Volunteer Forum is to increase the capacity of volunteer and salaried staff to contribute to the achievement of the mission of the 4-H youth development and the Cooperative Extension system as a whole. Purpose The primary purpose of the forum is to educate and prepare participants to share what they learned back home.  participants benefit from the experiential learning activities which require them to discuss, use, and apply what they learn.  The ultimate application is for individuals and teams to teach others what they learn.
