Success Story4-H Impacts Individuals



4-H Impacts Individuals

Author: Esther "Susan" Turner

Planning Unit: Monroe County CES

Major Program: 4-H Youth Development Programming

Plan of Work: LIfe Skills Development

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

Through 4-H, the Monroe County Cooperative Extension Service has the opportunity to make a positive impact in the lives of its members.  Working with youth as they grow through the program provides a unique perspective of how the activities, events, projects and program have helped to develop life skills.   One 4-H member shares her experience as follows:   Having been a 4-H member for eleven years, I have served as my club president and secretary/treasurer.  I have had the opportunity to meet new people from across the state from my membership in 4-H and I have gained invaluable life and leadership skills after I was selected as a member of the Kentucky 4-H Teen Council.   In my county, I have grown up watching my mother serve as a 4-H club leader.  Through this experience, I learned how to work with people to accomplish a goal, the importance of team work, and most importantly to always follow through with your commitments to the best of your ability.  I have also gained valuable communication skills and have learned how to express myself and my ideas more clearly.  4-H has made a positive difference in my life.
