Impact Report During the school year, the Socorro County Extension Agent held 15 project days at the City of Socorro’s Finley Gym. Programs generally last between 2 to 2 1/2 hours and focused on hands-on activities with strong educational components. Information and project ideas were taken from the 4-H project list and adapted to fit a variety of themes ranging from seasonal lessons to cultural exploration. Programs performed during this reporting period include: Exploring the World of Plants and Soil: From Plant to Peanut Butter; 4-H Beef: Beef-O Bingo; Horse Program: Good Grubs for Horses; 4-H Gardening Project: Sprouting Fingers and Dirt Babies; Landscape Gardening: Grow Cards; Agriculture and Nutrition: Mini Pizzas; Environmentally Friendly: Biodegradable Plastic from Corn; Food and Nutrition (Dairy): Ice Cream in a Bag. In December, the Socorro County Extension Agent hosted “A Homemade Christmas.” Youth were given the opportunity to make Christmas decorations, ornaments, and gifts. As a result of these project days, a summer program was developed by the City of Socorro and more than 100 youth attended everyday. And as a result of the summer program an afterschool program was developed with 4-H curriculum being taught every Tuesday and Thursday.
