Volunteer Training
One hundred fifty five (155) 4-H volunteer adult leaders completed the application and screening form for processing before being enrolled as a New Mexico 4-H Leader in San Juan County. With over 525 4-H members enrolled in over 26 clubs, keeping volunteers leaders trained is directly related to the success of the San Juan County 4-H program.
• 100% of new organizational club leaders were offered an orientation and initial education lessons.
• Provided new and experienced 4-H leaders with new project curriculum, contest, opportunity, and other training.
• Over 25% of adult 4-H volunteers participated in at least one leader education program during the 4-H program year.
• 4-H Specialists served as a resource to the county by instructing at 4-H leader education programs.
• Provided each new 4-H leader/volunteer with new project curriculum, contest, and other training.
San Juan County offered four volunteer leader trainings through out the year with over 75% of the active clubs attending at least one of the trainings. The October meeting is held to distribute new enrollments as well as other information that is needed to have successful leaders and clubs. This is our basic 4-H leadership 101 course which is met with lots of questions and answers to start the 4-H year off right. Twenty-six leaders attended this meeting with the majority being less experienced 4-H leaders. Our January meeting is one that we bring in a State Specialist and this year Linda Schultz presented a program on the eight essential elements for 4-H. She answered many questions relating to teaching at the local club level. With over thirty volunteer leaders attending, turnout was great and many ideas were exchanged among leaders. Our April meeting is one to make sure all forms and requirements are met before the April 15 deadline and to assist the leaders in any matter seemed relevant. This year we discussed the needs of the leaders as well as the members to assist the agents in the direction of the county program. A follow-up of Linda Shultz’s presentation was discussed. 4-H charters and EIN numbers for each club was still reinforced for the training as well as fundraising activities and money management. This training had over twenty leaders present, they were leaders that had not been to training for the year and they gained knowledge about the 4-H program. In July we held our meeting in conjunction with a County Council meeting and went over all the requirements for the 4-H indoor projects. We discussed posters, pictures, baking, pie & cake scholarship, and other information pertinent to the success of the members and the count fair indoor competition.
The agent works with many volunteer leaders to make San Juan County 4-H program a success. Besides the thirty-two traditional club organizational leaders, the agent works with shooting sports leaders in the area of shotgun, archery, pellet, and .22 rifle. The agent provides current information to these leaders and schedules meeting and practice times. The agent works closely with rodeo leaders, sportfishing leaders, horse leaders, and rabbit leaders. The agent assists and provides training as well as scheduling needs. Keeping a fresh group of leaders is beneficial to the program and the youth of San Juan County
