Kentucky 4-H Youth Development Initiatives and Trends

Plan of Work Resources

2016-2020

 

As counties begin the process of planning the next Four Year Plan of Work, volunteers will be asked to identify the needs and issues related to 4-H and youth in their county. One step in the process is for university-based Extension specialists to provide county Extension staff with updates on research, legislation, and policies which may affect local programming. The 4-H Extension Specialists have gathered information that agents may choose to share with members of local advisory councils as they engage in the process of situational analysis and needs identification.  Below are resources and tools that can be used with the 4-H Advisory Council and other groups as the County Plan of Work is developed.
