| Impact Report | Welcome to 4-H Workshop In order to address the need to orientate new 4-H members to the 4-H program requirements, the 4-H agent and home economist planned a joint workshop for youth and adult leaders in February of 2011. Two State 4-H specialists traveled to Raton HS to conduct the adult workshop, which was also offered to leaders in Union, Mora and San Miguel counties. Six leaders from Colfax and San Miguel counties participated in the workshop gaining leadership skills and ideas to benefit the youth in their clubs. The 4-H agent and home economist team taught the youth workshop attended by seven youth, including three junior leaders from Colfax County. The youth learned about the 4-H motto, slogan, creed, emblem and history by completing pages from the Welcome To 4-H project book, then used their creativity to paint and decorate picture frames that could be exhibited in the fair as part of their project. Photos were taken of the youth so that they could be placed in the frames after drying. The home economist also showed the youth how to properly give a 4-H demonstration, which was followed by a demonstration given by two of the participants. The 4-H agent then guided the youth through a “contest” simulation where they learned more about the livestock and home ec skill-a-thon, wildlife and horticulture contest. 4-H record books and indoor exhibit boards were also on display for the 4-H’ers and parents to view. This allowed them to ask questions and see examples so that they had a better understanding of the 4-H program expectations. |
