Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine which supervisory skills are currently utilized in the relationship between the volunteer and the professional in the 4-H program, and to determine the perceptions of the volunteers and the agents on the concept of supervision in the 4-H program. The study showed that Extension agents say they utilize the supervisory skills when communicating with volunteers. However, it found a discrepency between the agent's and the volunteer's perceptions on the use of constructive criticism and initial training which is received. An accepting attitude toward supervision by volunteers and agents can be concluded from both volunteer and agent responses. These responses were in regard to knowledge of club activities and the methods of informing the agent. An acceptance of supervision is also shown in the positive response to conference which are held between the volunteer and the agent.
