Plan of Work: To add value to the life and well being of citizens through actions that produce tangible benefits.

Outcome: Initial Outcome

In Spring of 2019 we determined there was a need for a volunteer training to better organize and support our clubs in our county.  In Fall of 2019 we hosted a Volunteer training with 12 volunteers in attendance.    Volunteers were present from multiple counties in District 4. Volunteers received an appreciation gift for attending and dinner. Evaluations of the program stated:

-They plan to take the following programs/ideas back to their club and Implement (73%)

-In the Future Volunteers would like to see improvements in the training: -More Participation (23%), Networking Opportunities for Volunteers (55%),

-Participants who received Recertification Hours for Horse/Livestock Programs (72%)

-In the future 44% of participants would like agents/specialists/and experienced volunteers to lead sessions.

-Future Training Ideas include: How to properly run a club meeting, developing officers and committee members, in-depth money handling procedures, county policies and rules
