The current program year focused more on delivering educational lessons associated with what teachers are currently teaching. Lessons from 6 of the 7 4-H Core Curriculum were introduced, at least once, during a Club Meeting.  Teachers have reported the 4-H lessons strengthen or introduce students to content that is key to mastery.  The hands approach to understanding allows most youth to achieve one the learning styles, that may not or on a limited basis, within the classroom.  Some skills developed or worked on through club work: Goal Setting, Teamwork, Decision Making, Keeping Records, Communication, Sharing, Leadership, and much more.
