Youth Development
Impact Reports
In 2007, 8 teams participated in Consumer Decision Making at Western 4-H Round-Up. A presentations contest has been added to Roundup along with a home economics related tour. Home Ec Bowl was added as a competitive event at Western 4-H Roundup in 2007. As a result of training and promotion, new states are implementing Home Economics Contests and participating at 4-H Roundup. New states include Tennessee, California, Kentucky and Oregon. Participation in Home Economics related projects has increased by 50% from 2004 to 2007.
Updated information on exhibit requirements has been provided to the New Mexico State Fair and Extension Staff working with 4-H. New exhibit requirements are readily available through the 4-H website. Promotional items are developed for the recruitment of Youth Officials and also posted online. Results: Youth Official participation increased to 9 in 2007. Overall entries held steady at 1900. The Best of Show Pie and Cake were auctioned with proceeds going to the individual 4-H member.
Photography Contest guidelines and requirements have been updated and reflect more timely and diverse skills. In 2007, 88 photos were received from 31 youth representing eight counties. A Promotional 4-H Calendar is created annually using the top 12 photos from the photography contest, increasing recognition of youth participating in the photography contest. Calendars include 4-H and other organizations dates. Printing costs are sponsored by El Paso Electric Company. Over 300 calendars are distributed annually with proceeds going to support 4-H programming.
Youth and adult Record Book trainings were conducted across the state, increasing knowledge and skills in record keeping and written communication. Ten youth submitted State Records in 2007.
Livestock Projects
Youth involved in livestock projects learn subject matter concepts and develop life skills through participation in livestock schools, camps, and competitive events. 249 youth from three states participated in the Roy Vaughn Livestock School. 15% of these youth were directly impacted by involvement with steer school. These youth are better equipped to make an impact in their lives with greater awareness and knowledge of beef cattle and the understanding of how hard work influences the bottom line.
At the county level youth livestock projects are an extremely large part of the program. 4-H members are assisted throughout the year in order to develop the skills necessary to improve and enhance the skills and abilities needed to be successful with their projects. Through participation in livestock activities youth are shown to be better students, more active in their schools, and communities, and have fewer disciplinary problems. Livestock projects consist of over 75% of our enrollment numbers.
