Success StoryYour Guide to the Four H's



Your Guide to the Four H's

Author: Mackenzie Pogue

Planning Unit: Muhlenberg County CES

Major Program: Family and Consumer Science

Plan of Work: Basic Life Skills

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Youth actively participated in Your Guide to the Four H’s learning essential life skills to aid in their personal growth.  Lessons included grilling on a griddle,  gas, and charcoal grills.  Food and knife safety. Basic home budgeting and check writing.  Understanding the difference between needs versus wants.  The importance of staying physically fit, eating a balanced diet, and personal hygiene habits.  The day concluded with home maintenance skills youth can complete to help their families.

Youth gained confidence using a grill to prepare foods.  They were taught how to safely use a knife to  cut vegetables, including the basic cuts: slice crosswise and lengthwise, chop, dice, mince and julienne. When youth are provided the opportunity to be an aid in the kitchen, they gain mastery in such skills.
