Volunteer Lifestyle Guides
Volunteer Lifestyle Guides receive training to extend resources in the county, share expertise and experiences, or help carry out local plans generated through the study circle conversations. Download a copy of the volunteer lifestyle guide job description for more information.
Volunteer Lifestyle Guides can extend the work of Iowa State University Extension and Outreach through one-on-one work with individuals and/or community group presentations. Volunteer Lifestyle Guides will be trained by ISU Extension and Outreach Families Program Specialists to deliver programs locally. Review the presentation topics to see what interests you!
