Over the past year, it has been difficult to engage stakeholders in virtual programming. Many stakeholders, unsure of what the next steps are for them, put external programming on pause due to these uncertainties. As a result, many of my programs were put to a halt towards the end of the 4-H year in 2020, as we all adjusted to various changes. At the beginning of this year, as the world began to open back up, I received emails from new and old stakeholders desiring to plan programming for the upcoming school year. From January up until today, I have established new connections with an inner city community center, a business organization that services minority students, and two new schools. I have also reconnected with previous stakeholders who switched from virtual programming back to in-person programming. These new connections will enable me, as a 4-H Agent, to facilitate programming to our target audience as a part of our strategic plan and reach over 100 of the most important new and old stakeholders, the youth.
