Planning Unit: Butler County CES

Major Program: Natural Resources

Plan of Work: 4-H Youth Development

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

4-H runs on volunteers, and the motivation of the volunteers.  Butler co. has been blessed with super volunteers.  After a few years of struggle after the death a beloved leader.  Our program has recovered and is growing rapidly.  We currently have 7 certified coaches.  But not just warm bodies, "Leaders",  Great people who work tirelessly for our youth.  It has paid dividends.  Our youth won 32 separate trophies at last fall's state 4-H Shooting Sports competition.  But far more importantly, they have grown as individuals, were able to have an activity during COVID where they could stay socially distanced,while learning to achieve.

It's easy to recognize 32 youth for trophies.  The kids worked hard for those awards, but great leaders walked them through the learning process and re-built this program.
