Impact Report Adult Volunteer Leadership Development Catron County has six different and unique communities that do not always interact with each other on a regular base. Therefore this agent has come to rely on email as a form of communication. By forwarding emails that may be informative to the 4-H leaders and parents, I am trying to educate the county on the vast opportunities this program provides. Posters, word of mouth, or a convenient stop by the CCES office are not an option for all residents of Catron County. Because of this increase in information there are more programs going on locally in individual communities. For instance in Luna this year they put on a buyer thank you dinner following the county fair. This kind of appreciation promotes awareness of the fair and time spent by leaders and parents as well as youth. Besides the fair there are two other times all leaders should come together. They are the yearly 4-H banquet and the grading of another counties books before the banquet. Even then not all leaders will be present. At the banquet CCES offers information and new materials for the years to come. This year the banquet is in November. This agent will also be asking for the completion of a survey questioniare to receive input on the 4-H program. There are two main opportunities for the leaders to educate themselves, New Mexico leader forum. Last year one leader attended. She came back with a lot of questions, and a lot of information to use in her community club. There was also one leader who attended shooting sports with me. We learned many new ways to teach this very popular and growing project in Catron County. This project is the most supported by each community, having at least one coach in three different communities. These coaching leaders practice and work with the youth once or twice during this season. Leaders, parents as well as youth are provided with a current news letter. The letter is sent by email or a hardcopy is made available to those who prefer it. It is also posted on the 4-H bulletin board at Quemado School. Leaders training will be provided in November while grading another counties book. Curriculum and information from last year leader’s forum will be provided as well as an agenda. The agenda will provide a list of subjects to be discussed.
