| Impact Report | The Home Economist worked with the county 4-H Agent and other parent volunteers to coordinate organized practice sessions to train 4-Hers for county and district contests. Information on various home economics contests was developed and presented to a group of 4-H members interested in participating in these contests. The youth studied and practiced the contest material over an eight week period to develop an understanding of basic skills, equipment, tools, and concepts associated with 4-H home economics projects. The Home Economist also assisted youth in developing consumer decision making skills as simple classes were evaluated for quality, price, functionality, etc. As the youth developed an understanding of various contests they participated in county and district contests. The skills and knowledge gained through these contest practices will help youth as they encounter real life situations such as choosing post secondary education, making career choices, raising families, and becoming contributing members of society. A total of 19 youth participated in contest practices and participated in county, district, and state 4-H competitive events where they engaged in friendly competition with their peers from around the state. |
