| Impact Report | Volunteer training One hundred and seventy (175) 4-H volunteer adult leaders completed the application and screening form for processing before being enrolled as a New Mexico 4-H Leader in San Juan County. • 100% of new organizational club leaders were offered an orientation and initial education lessons. • Provided new and experienced 4-H leaders with new project curriculum, contest and other training. • Over 30% of adult 4-H volunteers participated in at least one leader education program during the 4-H program year. • 4-H Specialists served as a resource to the county by instructing at 4-H leader education programs. • Provided each new 4-H leader/volunteer with new project curriculum, contest, and other training. San Juan County offered three volunteer leader trainings through out the year with over 30% of the register leaders attending at least one of the trainings. The October meeting is held to distribute new enrollments as well as other information that is needed to have successful leaders and clubs. This is our basic 4-H leadership 101 course which is met with lots of questions and answers to start the 4-h year off right. Our January meeting is one that we bring in a State Specialist and this year Linda Shultz presented a program on leader retention, awards recognition and conflict management. It was met with great reception and more information was asked for after this program. Our April meeting is one to make sure all forms and requirements are met before the April 15 deadline and to assist the leaders in any matter seemed relevant. This year 4-H charters and EIN numbers for each club was the hot topic for training. The agent presented a presentation over the importance of receiving both of the above items to be considered a 4-H club in San Juan County. The agent relieved many leaders and walked all the clubs through the necessary paper work and all clubs did receive a charter and EIN number for their finances. The agent works with many volunteer leaders to make San Juan County 4-H program a success. Besides the thirty-five traditional club organizational leaders, the agent works with shooting sports leaders in the area of shotgun, archer, pellet, and .22 rifle. The agent provides current information to these leaders and schedules meeting and practice times. The agent works closely with rodeo leaders, sportfishing leaders, horse leaders, rabbit leaders, and Citizenship Washington Focus leaders. The agent assists and provides training as well as scheduling needs. Keeping a fresh group of leaders is beneficial to the program and the youth of San Juan County |
