Plan of Work: Developing Community Leaders
Outcome: Initial Outcome
In December of 2019, Fleming County 4-H had 10 Jr. Teen Council members attend the 4-H District Middle School Retreat at North Central 4-H Camp. The packed schedule was full of quality and educational activities and events for the youth participants. Members explored various aspects of 4-H through a leadership development, cupcake wars, catapult building, and cooking workshops. Each member assisted with the implementation of a service project for the benefit of North Central 4-H Camp by sewing new curtains for the cabins. Members enjoyed downtime and icebreakers to get to know members from across Districts 1 and 2. This was Fleming County's third year participating in the 4-H Middle School retreat, and many of our delegates were first time attendees. When asked if they gained any leadership skills 78% of the Fleming County delegates stated they felt their leadership skills improved. 85% of the Fleming County delegates stated that they made friends from another county while participating in the 4-H Middle School Retreat. 100% of the Fleming County delegation stated their appreciation for the community service project. In Fleming County Schools, students are required to implement a designated number of service hours annually for grade advancement, the Fleming County 4-H members appreciated the opportunity to supplement their education in this manner through the 4-H Middle School Retreat.
