There are multiple avenues for University of Kentucky 4-H Agents to deliver programming. Some agents provide after school clubs, project clubs, school clubs and school enrichment. This year, Jefferson County 4-H provided leadership programming in the form of school clubs to Camp Taylor Elementary School. The activities involved with leadership development vary greatly, but are all focused on improving the quality aspects of a young leader through reflection, explanation of leadership principles, and personal experiences. During the school clubs, the students are granted the opportunity to learn how to hold a monthly meeting. They elect officers and hold their monthly meetings utilizing Roberts Rules of Order. After each meeting, there is a lesson taught by the 4-H Agent based on leadership. The lessons taught centered on understanding self, communication, getting along with others, making decisions, and working with groups. Within 3 classes, Camp Taylor Elementary had 64 4th graders that participate in the school clubs, learning valuable skills they can take on further in life.
