Impact Report Hot August Nights: The City of Socorro requested that the Socorro County 4-H’ers provide activities for the youth in the community during their Hot August Night events. To Socorro County 4-H’ers its quite the honor to be the one “youth” organization asked to provide these activities. Socorro County 4-H Council Officers provided assistance to the hand-on arts and craft projects that the City of Socorro provides us with, as well as a variety of games such as ring toss, bean bag toss, twister, and hula hoop contests. The 4-H youth learn lifeskills such as patience because they often times get bombarded with children wanting to complete projects and play games all at the same time. This event is a great opportunity for us to promote 4-H and talk to people who are interested in joining. Through this event youth learned several life skills. Some of these include: Heart: Relating • Social Skills- Youth learned to communicate with the public; adults and youth. • Communication- The youth learned how to communicate the directions on the activities as well as talking to the parents about 4-H and how they can enroll their child. Hands: Giving • Community Service Volunteering- 4-H youth give back to the community by volunteering their time to work with other youth in the community. They gain an understanding that not all youth are as privileged as they are.
