Planning Unit: Adair County CES
Major Program: 4-H Leadership Core Curriculum
Plan of Work: Youth and Volunteer Leadership Development
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
The Kentucky 4-H Issues conference is for high school youth who have a desire to make a difference in their community.
The goals of the KY 4-H Issues Conference are for Delegates to:
- Enrich their citizenship/civic engagement roles
- Enhance their leadership skills
- Develop public presentation skills
- Gain an understanding of local issues
- Learn the process of addressing local issues
During the four-day intensive conference, a partnership occurs between the Delegates (youth) and the Facilitators (adult) which leads to a successful learning experience. Delegates were involved in 20 hours of hands-on experiences during the 2019 KY 4-HIC.
Adair County Cooperative Extension Service had four youth who participated in this year’s Issues Conference. Two served on the second year project group and two served on the first-year project group. One youth was selected to participate in the 2020 Issue Conference planning committee. All four youth presented to the 4-H Council and Youth Leadership programs on what they had learned and how the projects worked. 94% said they can listen to people who have different ideas, 66% used the information they learned to make a decision, and 94% have used a skill in other 4-H activities.
