Impact Report Volunteer Training There are 155 4-H adult volunteer leaders that have completed the application and screening process before being enrolled as a New Mexico 4-H Leader in San Juan County. With just over 520 4-H members enrolled, recruiting and maintaining volunteer leaders is directly related to the success of the San Juan County 4-H Program. One hundred percent of new organizational club leaders were offered an orientation and initial education lesson. 99% of 4-H adult volunteers participated in a least one leader education program during the 4-H year. Twenty six leaders attended the October Leaders’ Meeting. At the leaders meeting the agent was responsible for distributing new enrollments, club certifications, yearly calendars and insurance information as well as other necessary information needed for a successful 4-H year. Thirty leaders attended the January Leaders’ Meeting. Linda Schultz, State 4-H Adult Volunteer Specialist, was invited to present “Eight Essential Elements for 4-H”. The program was very well received. Nine leaders attended the April Leaders’ Meeting. The agent was responsible for providing information for the April 15th 4-H deadline and making sure leaders’ knew what was due and that they received the correct forms. Fifteen leaders attended the July meeting that was held in conjunction with the county council meeting. This was an opportunity for the agent to hold a training on the requirements of the 4-H Indoor Projects. The agent discussed proper displays and expectations of the indoor projects. She also created a handbook explaining these requirements. Throughout the 4-H year the agent provides any information requested or desired by the adult volunteer leaders. The agent also works closely with the leaders to schedule practices and secure facilities for numerous 4-H activities. Keeping the adult volunteer leaders satisfied and involved is key to the sustainability of the San Juan County 4-H Program.
