| Impact Report | Enrollment: 18 newly enrolled adult volunteer leaders completed the screening process and 58 adult volunteer leaders were reenrolled as leaders in the county. Total enrollment for the year was 76 adult volunteer leaders. Project Leader Training: A project leader training was presented to new and returning project leaders in the county. 13 adult volunteer leaders attended the training held in February. Participants in the training learned about their roles and responsibilities as a project leader which included signing up as the leader, getting started, how to hold project meetings, teaching techniques and activities to incorporate into the meetings, and ways to secure information and resources for projects. The new and returning project leaders that attended the training liked the information that was presented in the booklet provided as well as information on getting the 4-H’ers motivated. Leader Trainings: 3 adult volunteer leaders attended the New Mexico Leaders’ Forum for Adults in Albuquerque, NM. The leaders attending the event found the information and skills gained were very practical and useful in improving their roles as leaders in their clubs and in the county. Leaders attending this weekend retreat received information many subjects including ways to improve communication between club members, community service project ideas, club craft projects, working between age barriers, and leadership development. 4 adult volunteer leaders attended the Western Region Leaders Forum in Denver, Colorado. Each leader who attended the event personally expressed how rewarding the forum was and how much they enjoyed learning new information and ideas to bring back to their clubs. The leaders attend this event received information on a wide variety of subjects including ways to say thank you, the art of communication, livestock care, project information, and much more. Two of the leaders returning from the event presented information they learned from the cards of thanks workshop to the 4-H Council. County Club Reviews: County Club Reviews were conducted with 10 of the 12 Organization Club Leaders in Valencia County to evaluate the progress of the club over the last 4-H year. This evaluation is used to help Club Leaders discuss ways to improve 4-Her and parent involvement in current club activities, and ways to help the youth become more productive within their club. These evaluations help to increase retention among the club leaders and encourage increased volunteer awareness. |
