| Impact Report | Since October of 2006, the agent has screened approximately 44 leaders through the Hire Right screening system. A leaders’ organizational meeting was attended by six out of the seven club’s leaders to discuss the screening process, youth enrollment deadlines, ownership deadlines and project drop/add dates. Leaders also met to pick the 2006 Outstanding 4-H member and to evaluate record books. Project leaders also held several workshops in regard to canning/food preservation, the cake pilot project and Baking I and II in order to help youth prepare goods for exhibition at county, state and ENMSF. Since October of 2006, the agent along with State 4-H Youth Activities Specialist Amy Zemler, has presented the program "Joining the Youth's Communication Quest" at the National Association of Extension 4-H Agents Conference in Milwaukee, WI, Western Regional Leaders Forum in Phoenix, AZ and the Tri-State 4-H In-Service in Durango, Co, National Association of Extensio 4-H Agents Conference in Atlanta, GA and the 2008 New Mexico Leaders Forum in Albuquerque. Many of leaders showed an increase in knowledge in regards to text chatting lingo as well as the dangers and misconceptions about MySpace.com. Around 70 agents and volunteers have learned about the dangers of online solicitation of youth through text messaging, blogs and personal web page profiles like MySpace. com. To compile data, surveys were distributed at the 2006 State 4-H Conference where the presenters learned that 148 out of 200 youth text message on a daily basis and that 119 out of 200 youth have a MySpace page. |
