often as the Council members feel they need to meet. Typically they meet
monthly except in July and August. The Council is guided by the
Maine 4-H Teen Council By-Laws.
Membership on the
Maine 4-H Teen Council is guided by the following:
- Teen Council
members should be enrolled 4-H members at least 12 years old but not older
than 18.
- Each county may
appoint no more than one representative to serve on the Council. It is left
to the county to decide how to make their appointment. However, the
appointment should be one of high honor to your appointee. The
member does not have to live in your county, however they should be actively
enrolled in your county.
- In addition to
county-appointed Council members, 4-H Ambassadors, (members who have
attended National 4-H Conference), automatically serve as members of the
Council.
