Sometimes, adolescent males can be some of the roughest audiences to groom, especially when there are factors in play that do not promote positive development or growth. Jefferson County 4-H was charged with developing a safe place where young boys at Cochran Elementary could learn positive youth development. The lessons taught to the young boys were lessons from the 4-H Leadership Curriculum. They learned skills in positive communication, self-reflection teamwork, respect for their peers and adults, decision making, and peer pressure. They also discussed what it is to be a young male growing into a young man. 35 4th and 5th grade males participated in the program and now have skills that will prepare them for the next level.
