Abstract
The research examined the social background, personality and attitudinal factorsinfluencing the decision to volunteer and level of involvement among adult 4-Hleaders. The Smith Sequential Specificity Model of Voluntary Participation wasused to hypothesize the influence of these factors on voluntary participation. Pathanalysis was employed to determine the direct and indirect effects these factors hadon voluntary participation. The analysis revealed that the factors age, years as a4-H member, whether children were in 4-H or not and attractiveness of 4-H had adirect positive influence on a leader's length of service and the occupational statusof laborer had a direct negative influence on length of service. Collectively, thesefactors accounted for 65 percent of the variance in length of service.
