Plan of Work: Empowering Community Leaders
Outcome: Initial Outcome
What do you do in 4-H? Do the kids do anything? Is it just cows and cookies? All questions asked over the years, but a standard form of measuring the Communications, Leadership, and Civic Engagement impact of Kentucky 4-H programming has not been available. For the 2023-24 program year, Kentucky 4-H has made evaluation tools available with counties able to add their spin as needed. Marshall County 4-H Youth Development Agent implemented these evaluation tools at the last club meeting for all three County 4-H Club levels – Teen-Middle, Elementary (4th & 5th) and Cloverbuds (K-3).
Below is the data collected from the attending 4-H Teen-Middle (21) and Elementary (5) members at the March 2024 meetings. The following is based on responses to “After participating in 4-H…”
Communications:
Leadership
Civic Engagement
Data was not collected on the above from Marshall County 4-H Cloverbuds due to the complexity of the evaluation tool. Responses of things liked, learned, and suggestions for future 4-H programming to be shared in upcoming success stories.
