Impact Report Adult volunteers provide a significant amount of direct contact with 4-H youth and are essential partners in the 4-H Youth Development Program for maintaining and expanding the program. 4-H leaders were presented with two opportunities to attend a 4-H leader meeting in which 4-H leaders were asked to help evaluate the current 4-H program and set goals for the upcoming year. 30 leaders participated in the meetings. The leaders were for the most part happy with the program but did have some suggestions about getting more youth enrolled in 4-H. It was suggestd that 4-H members present a short program to the 3rd through 6th graders during National 4-H Week to introduce youth to 4-H and how to enroll in 4-H. Each parent who wanted to be a 4-H laeder was given the adult volunteer leader application form for processing. 32 leaders filled ou the form . The organizational leaders meet twice a year to go over plans for 4-H. Each of them received a copy of the Club Leaders Handbook and the 4-H Policies and Procedure handbook. They were given information about the enrollment procedure for the county, what each 4-H member is expected to do. 4-H leaders have expressed an interest in having a leaders meeting once a year at the beginning of the yaer to evaluate the past year and set goals for the upcoming year. This also gives the leaders and opportunity to volunteer to assit with various projects and contests.
