4-H Build Your Future Program
Author: Dora Centers
Planning Unit: Knott County CES
Major Program: Family and Consumer Science
Plan of Work: Community Leadership
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
Addressing the need of college and career readiness with local high school students, Knott Co 4-H provided the students with lessons from the national 4-H Build your future curricula.
The students were given lessons on career and personal interest exploration. Then they were led through preparing their “awesomeness binder”. This binder is to serve as a central location for all their documents and accomplishments making it easier to apply for college, scholarships or a job. Each students learned how to fill out a job application and completed a resume.
The value of having their information in a “ready to go” state for their scholarships and college or career applications is very valuable to them in their current stage of life.
The entire senior class participated at one high school, the other all grades 9-12 participated. I see tremendous value it brought to the students. Going forward I would like to see the program implemented earlier in high school. So, the students could utilize their “awesomeness binders” to apply for scholar programs and scholarships along the way, as well as, college and careers.
