Success StoryNew leaders add to old program



New leaders add to old program

Author: Mary McCarty

Planning Unit: Menifee County CES

Major Program: Natural Resources 4-H Core Curriculum

Plan of Work: Developing leadership and volunteer skills for engagement with community, country, and the world

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

4-H Shooting Sports in Menifee County has been active for many years in our community. Club leaders came to the 4-H agent in the late fall and asked for new coaches be recruited for the program. After recruiting 5 new volunteer coaches meetings were held for plans for the new program year. At this meeting new leaders stood up to the challenge of becoming coaches and looking forward to certification in the fall. For the 2018 season a new range was leased, and work had began to make the range capable of hosting the first ever Menifee County Invitational Shoot.  On June 23 forty-eight 4-Hers from 8 surrounding counties participated in 82 events. Past certified coaches have stepped into new leader roles as well as new leaders have step into coordinator roles. These new leaders have open doors to new events and disciplines to be added to the Menifee County Shooting Sports program. The future is bright.
