| Summary | Based on the latest research in youth development, the Volunteer Leader Development Workgroup aims to provide consistent, ongoing training to 4-H volunteers in California through the use of the 4-H Project Leader Digest. The digest provides volunteers with the foundational components necessary to be effective volunteers in the 4-H Youth Development Program. The components of the digest include: • Essential Elements of 4-H Youth Development • Citizenship, Leadership and Life Skills • Experiential Learning • Learning Styles • Learning Strategies • Youth Characteristics • Teaching Opportunities • Youth-Adult Partnerships • Safety with Working with Youth In addition, research suggests that training is essential to 4-H Youth Development Programs (Snider, 1985; Hoover and Conner, 2001; Van Winkle, et al, 2002; Smith et al, 2004). However, providing written materials such as the digest without effective training will not fully develop the capacity of volunteers to implement youth development principles. Therefore, to insure the optimal benefit of the digest, the goal of the workgroup is to develop, test and evaluate a series of independent learning modules on the digest topics for use in a variety of settings. |
