The 4-H agent trained 8 high school teens to conduct leadership activities as part of a Summer camp for a local middle school. The goal of this program was to empower these teens to teach leadership activities to incoming middle school students as part of their middle school "Boot Camp" orientation. The 4H agent taught the teens basic leadership and teambuilding activities that usually work really well with middle school students. Each activity was designed to last from 30-45 minutes. The 4H agent conducted each of the activities with the high school students and let them work their way through the solutions so they would be able to explain how it worked with the middle school students. Once the students were comfortable conducting the activities, they were taught how to do debriefing from the activities. 

On the day of the leadership activities, the middle school students visited one of the leadership stations for a 45 minute leadership session conducted by the high school students. The middle school students were divided into 4 groups and rotated around to each classroom station. Each high school student had another partner with the group they worked with to conduct the activities. The high school students selected 2 of the leadership activites they wanted to do with the groups. 

The 4H agent discussed the program with the high school students to see how the activities went. Each high school student said they enjoyed conducting the activities and the students did well in participating in them. The 4H agent and the Family resource coordinator at the middle school have now made plans to continue training high school students to teach leadership activities at her middle school "Boot Camp" to help teach her students leadership before starting middle school.
