Health 4-H Core Curriculum
A large percentage of Grayson County youth lack the life skills necessary to function effectively in modern society. County school teachers report that students lack problem solving and decision making skills. Parents are often unable to help students, since they also lack these same skills.
Grayson County youth will become responsible, self-sufficient citizens that take an active role in county life. This will include an increase in job readiness skills, aspiration to attain higher levels of education and an increase in use of critical thinking and problem solving skills.
Youth must be able to set personal and career goals and have the self discipline to attain those goals. All individuals will increase personal stability and increase their self confidence for obtaining their goals set for the future.
Youth will increase their knowledge of the connection between education and future stability. Individuals will increase their knowledge of effective life skills and have the ability to implement and modify those skills to serve them throughout their lives.
Initial Outcome: Youth accepting leadership roles in their 4-H club(s) at the county level and beyond. Youth will also participate in activities and projects that increase their leadership skills.
Indicator: Youth will accept leadership roles within 4-H and other groups.
