Meetings were held bi-annually in March and November.Washington County 4-H is located in the heart of the Florida Panhandle with an estimated population of 22,720 (US Census Bureau Quick Facts, 2006). Twenty-one point six% of the populations is 18 years or younger with 5.2% of those being five years old or younger. 81.9% of the population is White, with 13.7% of the population being Black.Summary of Programs Table Program titleDays Planned*Days Expended**I.Volunteer Management & Organizational Strategies110146II.4-H Youth Life Skill Development4069III.Operations & Other Extension Programs1021 *full time agents plan for 120 – 160 days** range for full time employment is 210 – 240 daysI.??????????Improving Volunteer Management and Organizational StrategiesA. Situation: The overall purpose of this program was to build support for the 4-H program through both volunteers and the community. An organized public relations and marketing effort is necessary to build awareness of the overall 4-H program, the impact it has on youth and the opportunities available for youth. It is also necessary to both maintain and expand the breadth of the 4-H program in Washington County. This has the potential to increase awareness of the 4-H program thereby contributing to an increase in the quantity of youth and adults participating in the Washington County 4-H program, the quality of available 4-H programs and diversity of 4-H club focus, members and volunteer leaders. Of the estimated 4,000 5-18 year old youth living in Washington County, over 2, 000 have been involved in some aspect of 4-H programming. Racial, ethnic, socio-economic, age and ability barriers may contribute to the lack of diversity among Washington County 4-H club members. Public awareness and 4-H’s image have impacted the program in two ways: 1) Youth and their families are not aware of the wide range of quality educational programs and opportunities available through participation and 2) Community leaders, school administration and personnel, business and civic leaders are not aware of the important role they may play in the Washington County 4-H program. By continuing to focus on marketing and improving the image and scope of the Washington County 4-H program, additional opportunities will arise in which both youth and adults can engage. Target Audience: Adults and Youth in Washington County, Government, Businesses & Civic Organizations. B.

Educational Methods and Activities Objective 1:Over a three year period, 14 club orientations have been taught to educate members and prospective members about 4-H club opportunities resulted in the creation of 2 new 4-H clubs and recruitment of new members.5 club charter workshops have been taught resulting in 100% of Washington County 4-H Clubs holding charters and meeting minimum club standards. Over the past three years, 100% of clubs have held and renewed charters.4 record book workshops have been conducted for youth over three years.4 Advisory Committee meetings were held in 2009 including the Washington County 4-H Program, Expansion and Review Committee, Washington County Youth Fair and Washington County Youth Fair Livestock Committee.6 club programming workshops were held with club members and leaders. This resulted in 75% of 5 4-H clubs having planned club programs. This has led to over 40 educational programs during the year impacting 180 youth.13 volunteer meetings have been held over a three year period to emphasize club management and facilitating effective learning environments for youth.2 certifications programs in 15 passenger van transportation were held for 5 volunteers.Archery certification programs were held for 6 participants.Shotgun certification programs were held for 10 participants.Leader books were distributed to all club leaders to assist them with club paperwork and organization.Youth activity sheets, volunteer time logs and financial information were collected quarterly to improve communication between leaders and 4-H office.County counselor trainings are held annually to clarify and instruct youth leaders in counselor roles at camp. 7 youth have participated in the State 4-H Camp Counselor Certification training program. Over a three year period, 5 officer trainings were conducted for 26 members to instruct them in leading club meetings and to conduct business using parliamentary procedure.Training session was hosted for 4 volunteers on creating a more educational environment at youth livestock shows.Objective 2:A standardized volunteer application, interviewing and screening process was put into place for all volunteers directly in contact with youth.25 new volunteers were successfully recruited and screened helping to ensure safe and secure environments for youth. Bi-annual leader meetings were implemented this year in which returning 4-H leaders learned about new policies and procedures, received updates to projects or programming and discussed needs or concerns. 2 certification and/or training opportunities were presented to volunteers to more adequately prepare them for working with 4-H youth. 6 new coaches were certified as archery instructors to begin a new project club for the Washington County 4-H program. Coaches included three adults and three youth leaders. 20 new club members enrolled in the new archery program thus expanding the scope of the Washington County 4-H program and reaching youth who were not previously served by the 4-H program.5 new volunteers were certified to provide van transportation therefore allowing youth to gain more access to programs who would otherwise not be able to provide transportation to or from a 4-H event or activity.Objective 3: Clubs submit monthly reports and updates to 4-H Agent to track progress towards achieving minimum Standards of Excellence.4-H Agent works directly with youth and adult leader through monthly planning meetings to determine where they are in achieving their club planning goals.Over the past three years, 6 club programming workshops were held with club members and leaders to educate them on the Standards of Excellence program.Objective 4: A county 4-H website is maintained and updated bi-weekly and has replaced mail-out newsletters since 1/09.21 member/parent newsletters have been produced in-house since 2007.2 articles have been submitted and published in district level newsletter reaching XXX volunteers.Since 2009, a quarterly volunteer newsletter is sent out to 25 active volunteers.52 news articles, 15 public or civic club presentations and 3 presentations to local school officials have been made promoting the Washington County 4-H program. 5 educational exhibits were produced and displayed reaching over 90,000 youth and adults in the district and local community.$11,795 in grant funds was secured to help offset programming costs.Monetary donations totaling $39,545.50 and $2,700 in goods donated have been received over 3 years to support the Washington County 4-H program.

Outcomes and ImpactsObjective 1: As evidenced in the 2009 Volunteer Survey:100% of 4-H Club Leaders (organizational) either agreed or strongly agreed to the following statements:Washington County 4-H provides a safe and secure environment for youth.I have had adequate trainings and/or consultations to effectively lead the 4-H Club.My 4-H club has an effective risk management plan to protect the safety of our youth and club leaders.Creating a supportive environment for both youth and adults is the core mission of Florida 4-H. Clearly, Washington County 4-H is achieving this mission by providing safe and secure youth environments, training and consulting with volunteers and putting risk management plans into place for youth and club leaders.Objective 2:100% of all active volunteers have been screened and appointed in compliance with UF/IFAS Extension Policies ensuring that Washington County 4-H is reducing the risk posed to youth members by following these procedures.A total of 25 new volunteers have been successfully screened and are now volunteering in the Washington County 4-H program thus increasing the impact of 4-H in the community as well as increasing opportunities for youth and mentoring youth in project areas.Objective 3:In 2009, 2 Washington County 4-H Clubs achieved the Bronze Level Club Standard of Excellence. To achieve 80% in 2010, the 4-H Agent will conduct workshops with youth club leadership to assist them in achieving this goal.By achieving this, club members are fully realizing the benefits of 4-H programming through leadership development, community service activities, collaborations with other clubs and going beyond the club level of participation.Objective 4: Over three years, $119,435.19 has been generated for the Washington County 4-H program in the form of volunteer hours, grant monies, donations and in-kind contributions. The economic benefit of the Washington County 4-H program per youth member is $816.34. This in turn allows youth to attend programs, activities and events at lower costs and provides for scholarships for youth to apply to attend events. It also allows Washington County 4-H to provide materials and supplies for youth rather than charging them for said materials.Washington County 4-H is successfully reducing the barriers to 4-H membership by securing money and volunteer support of the county program.New collaborative efforts have been established over three years with I Can Grow, Inc., Farm Credit, Washington County Arts Council, Falling Waters State Park, Community South Credit Union and other local businesses and individuals to support the Washington County 4-H program. This has led to an increase in both volunteer and monetary support of 4-H programs, events and activities in Washington County.Success StoryDue to high agent turnover, potential collaborators and volunteers in Washington County were not aware of the quality, experientially based learning opportunities that 4-H provides. In 2009, the county agent implemented a marketing program to establish new collaborative partnerships and volunteers to instruct day camps. As a result, collaboration between Washington County 4-H and Falling Waters State Park in Chipley has resulted in the following benefits for club members:State Park entry fees waived for all 4-H related activities taking place within Falling Waters State Park.Three new volunteers were recruited from Falling Waters State Park and donated over 30 hours of time to Washington County 4-H.In addition, four new volunteers were contacted to teach summer day camps resulting in new topics/project areas available to Washington County youth.4-H Youth Life Skill DevelopmentA. Situation Statement:Based on most recent census data, there are approximately 4,000 youth ages 5-18 years old living in Washington County. Currently, Washington County 4-H uses a variety of program delivery modes to teach life skills to youth including community clubs, project clubs, workshops/clinics, camps and competitive events. These delivery modes reach an average of 1,800 youth each year (45% of the county’s youth population) with a minimum of 6 hours of face to face teaching by either the 4-H Agent or 4-H volunteers.Life skills specifically targeted for this program support the National 4-H Council’s mission mandates in Healthy Lifestyles, Science, Engineering and Technology, and Citizenship, Leadership and Communication specifically focused in the areas of shooting sports, science, engineering and technology, livestock and family and consumer science curricula areas to enhance youth’s life skills. Additionally, 4-H provides classrooms and teachers with experiential programs to further enhance life skills through 4-H in the Classroom programs.A recent study found that, compared to other youth, 4-H members are more likely to be involved as leaders in their school and community, be looked up to as role models by other kids and to help others in their communities. The study also found that 4-H members are less likely to shoplift or steal, use illegal drugs, vandalize public or private property or skip school without permission (Astroth, Kirk and Haynes. The Montana Study. Montana State University, 2001). Children who had participated in 4-H for at least one year by 8th grade are about 3.5 times more likely to contribute to their families, self and communities. They are also 1.3 times more likely to be on the lowest trajectories for both depressive symptoms and/or risk/delinquent behaviors (Tufts University Institute for Applied Research in Youth Development).According to Garst and Johnson (2005), research has shown that residential camping is much more than just a location and program. The camping program allows youth to enhance inter and intra personal relationship skills while enhancing other life skills including responsibility and decision making (Bialeschki, Henderson and James, 2007.)Target Audience: School Age Youth, Grades K-12B. Program ObjectivesObjective 1: 80 percent of 100 youth will demonstrate an increase of knowledge or skills related to science, engineering and technology as a result of field days, workshops, day camps or project curricula measured through pre/post tests, project results and skill-a-thon scores.Objective 2: 80 percent of 100 4-H Club members will report learning valuable life skills such as positive decision making, self-motivation, public speaking confidence and responsibility as a result of workshops, competitive events and project curricula as measured through pre/post tests, teacher and parent surveys and project reports.Objective 3: Annually, 75% of 700 4th-6th grade youth will increase their oral and written communication skills as a result of participation in the 4-H/Tropicana Public Speaking Program and as reported through post-reflective surveys by students and/or teachers.Objective 4: 75% of 50 youth will report an increase in one or more of the following interpersonal skills: self responsibility, cooperation, respect for diversity or decision making as a result of participation in the 4-H residential camping program as measured by an end of camp survey.Objective 1: 80 percent of 100 youth will demonstrate an increase of knowledge or skills related to science, engineering and technology as a result of field days, workshops, day camps or project curricula measured through pre/post tests, project results and skill-a-thon scores.Objective 2: 80 percent of 100 4-H Club members will report learning valuable life skills such as positive decision making, self-motivation, public speaking confidence and responsibility as a result of workshops, competitive events and project curricula as measured through pre/post tests, teacher and parent surveys and project reports.Objective 3: Annually, 75% of 700 4th-6th grade youth will increase their oral and written communication skills as a result of participation in the 4-H/Tropicana Public Speaking Program and as reported through post-reflective surveys by students and/or teachers.?????????????
