| Impact Report | Teaching 4-H members from Eddy County new skills and information in a form of friendly competition was accomplished when the Home Economist coached approximately twelve youth in 4-H contests. During the months of April, May, and June the Home Economist worked closely with parent volunteers and the county 4-H Agent to develop teams of youth who would participate in county and district 4-H contests. Over 20 youth participated in regularly scheduled practices to learn about the contest rules and guidelines as well as develop the skills and knowledge necessary to compete against their peers. Contests specific to the Home Economics program area were coached by the Home Economist to novice and junior 4-Hers from Eddy County. The Home Economics Skill-a-thon and Consumer Decision Making contests teach youth about various utensils, skills, and techniques used in different projects such foods, clothing, and interior design, as well as the ever important life skill of consumerism. Youth studied various commodities and learned how to make informed decisions about such products as meal trail foods, jeans, and digital cameras. Of the twelve youth who participated in Home Economics all twelve placed in the top five at the District level. |
