Youth Engagement-Club Meetings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before the meeting begins, youth will need to feel welcome in the club space.  One way to do this is to have pre-meeting activity stations prepared so they have something to do that not only gets their creativity flowing, but also helps them start to get to know their fellow 4-H’ers!  Youth are more likely to participate in the meeting if they feel comfortable and like they belong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out the Pre-Meeting Activities<\/a> page for more ideas on how to engage youth as they walk into the meeting space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nervous about finding age-appropriate activities for Cloverbuds?  Check out the resource page for 4-H Cloverbuds<\/a> for tips and projects specifically geared toward engaging our youngest 4-H’ers age 5-7!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Youth Officers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As a youth-driven organization, 4-H centers the voices and needs of the youth members, encouraging and supporting them as they gain leadership skills and take ownership over their clubs.  A 4-H club will elect officers to serve as the club President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and other positions as necessitated by club tasks and aspirations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Youth themselves will find helpful resources on the 4-H Club Officers page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Youth-Friendly Parliamentary Procedure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

4-H business meetings use parliamentary procedure to help youth structure the meeting and make decisions in an orderly and efficient manner. While it may seem tricky to teach 4-Hers to use this formal process, we have tips, activities, and further resources available on Kittitas County 4-H’s Youth Friendly Parliamentary Procedure page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n
