| Impact Report | Adult Volunteer Leader Programming The need for increased adult volunteer leader development programming was identified by many leaders and parents of Rio Arriba County 4-H program during the first year of the agent’s tenure. In effort to meet the identified need of clientele, the agent introduced the Rio Arriba County Leaders Forum. High hopes were given to the innovative, two-day, one-night event. The goals and objectives set for the program included: providing adult volunteer leaders the opportunity to gain new ideas for club activities, learn new ways to effectively organize club activities, increase human resource management skills and increase overall involvement as a leader. In partnership with the State 4-H Specialist, the workshop topics of 2010 3rd Annual County Leaders Forum were: 4-H 201 – What you wanted to ask but Just didn’t know it, How to prevent Hum Drum Meetings, Youth Development Resources & Opportunities related to 4-H, Club meeting snack ideas, 4-H Participation and School Attendance and county leader networking. Nine adult leaders attended the event which was an increase in attendance from years prior. While overall participation has not been as high as hoped, adult volunteer leaders who have had the opportunity to attend the event, have given high regards in all aspects to the program. Written evaluations indicated that the material covered during the workshops were highly useful and practical to the needs of leaders. Participants noted activities to be very effective and presented at the right level. Increasing participation and attendance for the event is a main goal for the agent for the coming years. |
