23. EXTENSION PROGRAM -

During the period covered by this application, the Extension Agent is responsible for the development, delivery and evaluation of educational programs concerning Youth Development, including Lifeskills Development in youth and Volunteer Development in adults, as well as the development of long-term programmatic financial support and a sustainable organizational structure for the 4-H program.

Role and Activities of Your Advisory Committee:

Advisory committees play an essential role in Indian River County 4-H by identifying needs and opportunities, planning and implementing events, and securing resources to enhance the educational programs. Indian River has several advisory-like committees with varying levels of activity: Livestock Program Advisory, Horse Program Advisory, Camp Advisory, Expansion & Review, Overall 4-H Advisory, the 4-H Foundation, and a special Executive Committee.

The Livestock Program Advisory is the most active; its 37 members meet monthly year round. In addition to supporting the 4-H Livestock Program, the committee is responsible for all agriculture-related activities at the county fair. This group annually raises in excess of $30,000 in funding for the program, as well as plans 10 days of shows, expositions, and competitions for our 4-H’ers in livestock programs.

The Horse Program Advisory Committee meets twice annually before each Area ‘E’ 4-H Horse Program meeting to discuss possible changes to the State Horse Program.

The Camp Advisory group meets on an ad hoc basis throughout the year to provide ideas for Indian River’s week at Camp Cloverleaf.

The 4-H Foundation serves as the dedicated fundraising group of our 4-H program. It meets quarterly.

The Overall 4-H Advisory and Expansion & Review have essentially the same membership — a body representative of the sub-committees, plus school officials — but with different chairpersons.

The Executive Committee is a special, essentially judicial body, comprised of five individuals who aid the Agent in making decisions related to Rules violations that are not expressly written in 4-H’s many rulebooks.

I. Lifeskills Development: Developing Lifeskills in Youth Through 4-H Club and School Enrichment Program Involvement

A. Situation Statement

Indian River is not a county focused on the children. The average age of an Indian River County resident is 64 years old. It is a community where priorities are often decided by the elderly, for the elderly. Of the county’s 134,000 residents, only 14,000 — less than 10 percent — are between the ages of 5 – 19. 4-H is fulfilling a critical and often neglected role of engaging and supporting these youth in fun, hands-on, experiential-learning projects that help youth develop lifeskills, competencies and internal assets.

Research studies indicate that greater internal assets, lifeskills, and competences lead to more confident, responsible, and healthy youth who are less likely to become involved in risky behaviors.

4-H projects, when guided by volunteers and incorporated into the 100-year-old 4-H club structure, become the impetus, or “vehicle,” that engages youth in self-directed learning, setting goals, making independent choices and decisions, and gaining a sense of mastery and accomplishment from their experiences in 4-H.

The success of the 4-H club program, and the benefit to the child, depends on the program’s focus on lifeskills development, and not merely the subject matter of the project (e.g. how to raise an animal for market).

Through the 4-H club program, we are able to ensure that participants increase their competencies in: effectively communicating with others; developing and maintaining positive relationships; process information to make effective decisions and positive choices; lead and contribute to others; and demonstrate marketable and/or productive skills for work and family life.

Target audience(s): Indian River County youth, ages 5 – 18.

B. Program Objectives

1. 4-H animal science project involvement during the 2009-2010 4-H year will result in 60 percent of 90 4-H participants reporting an increase in time management skills, as evidenced by 4-H project stories.

2. Four-hour training sessions for 12 4-H Residential Camp Teen Counselors will result in improved satisfaction with the camp experience by both counselors and campers, as evidence by camp satisfaction surveys.

3. As a result of participation in the County Council 4-H Club, at least 50 percent of 24 youth will report increased use of Best Management Practices related to leadership skills, as evidenced by an end-of-the-year survey.

4. As a result of participation in the 4-H club program, 90 percent of 200 4-H members will elect to participate in moderate levels of volunteer service, as evidenced by service hours reports.

5. As a result of participating in the 4-H & Tropicana Public Speaking Program, 60 percent of 1,400 participants will report an increase in public speaking confidence, as evidenced by participant surveys.

6. As a result of participating in the 4-H Residential Camp program, 75 percent of 40 youth will indicate increased competencies in self-responsibility, social skills, and respect for others. As evidenced by???

C. Educational Methods and Activities

In terms of delivery methods and activities, Lifeskills Development is the most diverse 4-H major program area in Indian River.

The program relies heavily on a corps of 40 – 60 volunteers who implement the majority of delivery methods utilized to reach youth in Indian River County, thereby expanding the reach of the 4-H Agent and Extension Office. One county staff member supports the 4-H program. Advisory committees, as well as the Indian River County 4-H Foundation also play an important role.

The most in-depth delivery method utilized in the 4-H Club method. Trained volunteers lead community-based clubs that focus on one or several project areas that utilize the experiential learning model. Clubs meet twice monthly year round, and typically host monthly clinics, community service opportunities, or club fundraisers as well. 4-H Club members are 5 – 18 years old.

The most wide-reaching delivery method used by 4-H is the classroom-based program. Typically, teachers are provided with 4-H curricula and training to carry out a given program. However, in some specific programs, volunteers are recruited and trained to carry out school programs. Classroom-based programs currently target kindergarten through 4th grade.

Indian River County 4-H also utilizes 4-H Camp Cloverleaf in Lake Placid, Fla., for the residential camping delivery method. This week-long, concentrated method annually reaches 25 – 30 youth, ages 8 – 15.

The abovementioned delivery methods are the primary means of reaching youth in Indian River County; however, a variety of other necessary methods are employed to supplement, such as: workshops, clinics, field visits, competitions, award receptions, and out-of-county leadership and citizenship opportunities.

II. Volunteer Development: Enhancing the club experience with better-trained volunteers

A. Situation Statement

Volunteers serve a vital role in 4-H by supporting the 4-H Club Program, 4-H members, other volunteers, and other programs. Volunteers give structure to the group learning environment, often serving as educators and mentors to 4-H members. According to University of Florida research, more than half of lifeskills developed by youth in 4-H can be attributed to a positive relationship with a volunteer.

Indian River County has a dedicated corps of full-time volunteers, ranging in tenure from one year to 40 years. Nearly half serve in a club leader capacity, and another half serves in an advisory or fundraising role. Other episodic volunteers donate their time throughout the year as judges for competitive events, special event coordinators, or administrative office help.

Volunteers are recruited and trained in the principles of youth development, organizational culture, strategies, and youth project areas. Volunteers are supported in their work, recognized in their achievements, and evaluated on their performance.

Target audience(s): Parents of youth, ages 5 – 18 years enrolled in the 4-H program; Other adults interested in positive youth development.

B. Program Objectives

1. More than 70 percent of 55 trained volunteers will be retained in the 2009 – 2010 4-H year, as evidenced by re-enrollment.

2. More than 75 percent of 28 4-H club leaders will demonstrate leadership and teamwork skills in 2008 – 2009, as evidenced by involvement in advisory committees, special project committees, and club activities.

3. At least 10 new volunteers trained and oriented into the Extension and 4-H programs in the 2008 – 2009 program year resulting in a 20 percent increase in volunteers.

4. Current volunteers will sustain and expand their involvement in 4-H group learning experiences, as evidenced by increased participation. How measured, hours??

III. Organizational & Financial Development : Creating long-term support for the county 4-H Club program

A. Situation

In March 2006, at the very beginning of the time period covered by this application, Indian River County 4-H was in its fourth decade. The 4-H and Youth Development agent position had been vacant for more than seven months. The 4-H Overall and Horse advisory committees had disbanded. The 4-H Livestock Committee had by that time broken away from 4-H, formed its own “Youth Livestock Association,” and enacted rules conflicting with 4-H’s policy, mission and vision. The club leaders, too, had created their own independent “Leaders Association,” which had enacted policies counter to 4-H’s, and bred resentment through their ineffective and often overtly partial attempts to discipline fellow leaders in the absence of a dedicated 4-H agent. None of the clubs were chartered; many had bank accounts listed under social security numbers; few had ever completed a financial audit. The result was a program full of needless conflict, and wholly ineffective at creating positive learning environments, supporting youth programs, and managing its volunteers.

In order to have in place all the core components of the 4-H club program — physical and emotional safety, development of positive relationships, sense of belonging, independence, growth through service and leadership, and development of productive skills and competencies — corrective measures must be taken. All clubs need to be audited annually and officially chartered. Affiliate organizations also need to be chartered, and align their policy with 4-H’s. A sound set of advisory committees need to be assembled, and third party organizations serving no positive purpose dissolved.

The cumulative effects of these measures will be a more hospitable 4-H club program, one with better retention of youth and volunteers, and a greater positive impact on its participants.

B. Program Objective

1. More than 75 percent of 12 existing, and one new, 4-H club and/or affiliate organizations will complete the 4-H chartering process in 2008 – 2009, as evidenced by the number of charters granted by the USDA.

2. More than 50 percent of current 145 4-H members will re-enroll in 2009 – 2010, as evidenced by club enrollment records.

3. More than 90 percent of 145 4-H club members will report that 4-H has had a positive influence on them, as evidenced by customer satisfaction surveys.

4. To re-align the 4-H Livestock program with all 4-H policy, as evidenced by the dissolution of the “Youth Livestock Association” and the creation and an Extension Advisory committee to carry on the task associated with the planning and implementation of the annual 4-H Livestock Show & Sale.

5. To have at least five (5) registered 4-H volunteers actively forming a fund-raising body for the 4-H Club program by 2009, as evidenced by the number and frequency of meetings, and/or progress toward 501(c)3 status.

6. To raise $5,000 in the 2008-2009 4-H year to support the 4-H Club program.

C. Educational Methods and Activities

The primary experiential educational methods for groups associated with the Organizational & Financial Development program were meetings, workshops, and focus groups.
