Author: Esther "Susan" Turner

Planning Unit: Monroe County CES

Major Program: Health

Plan of Work: LIfe Skills Development

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Monroe County is a predominately rural area in which youth are exposed to a variety of conditions that could lead to unsafe conditions in the home, at school, or on the farm.    Educating youth how to avoid an accident or what to do in an emergency was the goal of the Monroe County 4-H Progressive Agriculture Safety Day.   Monroe County 4-H partnered with the Progressive Agriculture Safety program to host a safety day for all students attending summer school.  Ninety youth participated in seven different sessions: fire safety, firearm safety, animal safety, first aide, lawn mower safety, water safety, and general agriculture safety.   Youth also participated in group sessions on mental health and acceptance and inclusion, and electrical safety.
