Maine 4-H Program |
A.1.11 Funding of 4-H Aides in Counties
Any county may have a minimum of eight hours of 4-H aide time.
When a 4-H educator/professional is assigned to two county offices, the
county where the educator/professional is housed may have eight hours of
aide time, while the second county may have sixteen hours of aide time.
When a 4-H educator/professional is expected to devote a significant
percentage of his or her time to a program area other than 4-H Youth
Development, the county where the educator/professional is housed may have
sixteen hours of aide time.
In Aroostook county, where there is more than one office within a county,
the educator/professional may have sixteen hours of aide time, enabling an
eight-hour aide in the office where the educator/professional is housed, and
eight hours elsewhere.
The above policy does not preclude any county from raising funds using approved methods from other sources to augment aide time.
