Major Program: Volunteer Development

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

The year started off great with a new partnership that wanted to do programming at the Rosenwald 4-H Youth Development Center. This partnership was a first, homeschool groups have always got together to do programming at home. The parents wanted to try something new and give their children the opportunity to do things that they couldn't provide at the moment. This partnership all started at the Farmer's Market where they saw the 4-H team doing hands-on activities and asked if we could do specialized programming. Well this partnership led to a six month program that serviced over 30 kids bi-weekly and up to 10 parents doing trainings.  Our job was to sit down with the parents and train them on specific content that they wanted to teach their children. From there they would use the 4-H curriculum to teach to their children a day or two after it was taught. This turned out to be something really great and easy for the parents. Parents now had access to materials that they didn't have, they were working together more as a group, and majority of the content being taught was 4-H curriculum for the state of Kentucky. When asked in the beginning out of the 30 kids only 5 of the kids were involved in 4-H, that question was asked again after the program was over and 100% of all the kids have a sense of belonging with 4-H now and appreciate that they had the opportunity to come to the Rosenwald 4-H Youth Development Center here in Frankfort, KY. The parents are earger to set up new programs in the fall not only with us but with departments as well.
