Teen Club Service Learning

Author: Chanda Hall

Planning Unit: Jefferson County CES

Major Program: Community Vitality and Leadership – 4-H Youth Development

Plan of Work: Developing leadership skills for community and civic engagement

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Opportunity to get involved in extracurricular activities allows young people to become productive members in their community.  The Jefferson County 4-H Agents, 4-H assistants and 4-H Teen club planned and implemented activities within the meetings held monthly.  Along with activities on Leadership, they also planned service-learning projects.  The Jefferson County 4-H Teen club planned a service day in December making dog treats and toys to be donated within the County to several animal shelters.  The teens met for 5 hours, making 200 dog treats, 100 dog toys and 5 animal blankets.  These items were then presented to the Kentucky Humane Society on behalf of the Jefferson County 4-H Teen club, and then distributed throughout the County.  All members that participated reported that they were excited to give back and learn a new skill.  All Teens also reported that they would like to plan another service day within the next few months.
