Plan Summary
Plan Originator	Gayle Hall
Plan Title	Texas 4-H Centennial - Model Plan
Plan Type	Output
Plan ID	7444
Program Area Category	Youth >> 4-H Management (G2)
Other Personnel Involved
Issue Source	Special Interest
Description	4-H stereotypically has been seen as a program just for rural kids. There is a lack of understanding and awareness of 4-H. Many youth today are seeking ways to serve and become involved in service learning experiences. 4-H may be one avenue. 4-H's rich history is not well interpreted to note Texas Cooperative Extension's research base in youth development. The rich history of 100 years demonstrates our track record of success but must be interpreted to stakeholders in all communities.
Target Audience	Families
Start and End Dates	11/08/2006 through 08/31/2008
Program Goal Description	1) Increase communities' understanding/awareness of 4-H. 2) Promote the value of 4-H to families/youth and stakeholders 3) Celebrate our history throughout the county/state.
Client Change	Customer Satisfaction
Objective Indicator	1) Provide positive feedback and responses from the community to include greater knowledge of 4-H program. 2) Increased visibility of the 4-H program in the community that emphasizes how 4-H affects youth and families 3) Conduct specific event(s) or activities to celebrate the centennial of 4-H in Texas.
