Framing Washington 4-H
|
 |
Washington 4-H is Framing for the Future and YOU can be a part of it. In December, 2009 a review team conducted a statewide review of Washington 4-H Youth Development. The purpose of the review was to validate and strengthen the Washington 4-H Program by recognizing strengths as well as identifying opportunities for improvements. The review was focused on state level systems that are intended to support county programming. For more details on the review process and the review team members, please see Washington State 4-H Review.
The Review committee completed a Review Report that was shared statewide with all WSU Extension personnel and key stakeholders. The report contains an overview of our successes and challenges and recommendations for framing Washington 4-H for the future.
The Washington State 4-H Summit was held in Spokane Feb 23 – 25, 2010 in conjunction with the Food $ense Conference. All 4-H personnel who attended the Summit had the opportunity to participate in a facilitated prioritization process of the Washington State 4-H Review Recommendations. This process resulted in six working teams. The teams are:
- Diversity
- Marketing
- Professional Development
- Program Planning and Accountability
- Teen Programming
- Volunteer Development
Each team worked on a strategic/action plan. Summaries of those plans are listed here.
Now YOU can be a part of a team to refine and conduct the action steps created by you and your colleagues. Simply complete a Work Team Application and email to Pat BoyEs.
