Creating Powerful County Partnerships for 4-H Success
Recorded at the March 2022 IECA Extension Council Conference
Creating Powerful County Partnerships for 4-H Success
Lots of staff, volunteers, boards, and committees are involved in a successful county 4-H program. Sometimes that makes it difficult to know who does what, but communication and common understanding are the keys to success. This session will help clarify roles and responsibilities between 4-H staff, volunteers, extension councils, youth committees, and fair boards.
In December 2021, Iowa 4-H implemented Positive Youth Development guidelines to aid county extension staff and extension councils in navigating possible behavior and rule infractions as they pertain to fairs and events. This webinar is a joint endeavor from IECA and Iowa 4-H to inform council members of the new guidance issued by Iowa 4-H. The training, held on January 11, 2022 for an extension council audience, is facilitated by Mike Anderson, State Ag & Natural Resources Program Manager for Iowa 4-H Youth Development.
