| Impact Report | Beginning in October of 2006, the agent began researching possible ways to recruit new members, retain members, and distribute 4-H literature. The agent decided to begin this process at local schools. Membership in clubs affiliated with these two towns had dropped considerably, and a change or increase was needed to better serve clientale in these communities. At one of the schools, the local club recruited 15 new members, retained 5 previous members, and recruited two new club leaders. The club saw enrollment almost double and members now have a more structured club setting. From this recruitment trip, teachers in the district also began to understand the benefits of 4-H curriculum, and one teacher even utilized some school enrichment plans for a three week summer school course for elementary students. The other community saw a slight increase in new membership, but with factors such as decreased enrollment in the school, the club is more likely to meet the agents medium term objectives in terms of recruitment and retention. Another school community was addressed by the agent in correlation of how school enrichment could fit into the school's curriculum and how this programming method could assist in recruiting new members. |
