Their voice can help shape the future of 4-H! The survey will take about 15-24 minutes to complete and will ask about their 4-H experience in 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mission of National 4-H Council is to empower youth in 4-H programs to reach their full potential working and learning in partnership with caring adults. To assess our success in this endeavor, we are conducting an annual study to measure the impact of 4-H on youth and we invite your 4-H\u2019er(s) to respond. This study is also being replicated by 4-H programs in other states nationwide and is described in greater detail below. You are voluntarily deciding whether or not to allow your child to participate in this study. By allowing your child to complete and submit their survey response, you have given your permission for your child to participate. Your child can withdraw from the study at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All supporting information about the study has been sent to Parents of 4-H youth this week through 4-H Online broadcast email.

During the pilot, the Spokane County 4-H Intern will help guide the youth through the process. Their portfolio includes evidence such as a r\u00e9sum\u00e9, PACT goals, reflections, project records, financial summaries, photos, videos, supporting documents, and a showcase project that demonstrates growth, skill, and learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FutureForward helps youth do more than document accomplishments; it helps them demonstrate that what they have learned through 4-H is comparable to college-level learning. By linking their experiences to course outcomes and providing evidence of mastery, participants create a portfolio colleges can review in a rigorous and organized way for possible credit. This approach also aligns with National 4-H Beyond Ready, which emphasizes preparing youth for life and work through skill development, confidence, and readiness for future education and career pathways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once a student has been accepted to their college of choice, the completed portfolio may be submitted to the registrar for review for possible credit. In this way, 4-H FutureForward serves as both a youth development strategy and a bridge to higher education, helping students recognize the academic value of their 4-H experiences while strengthening readiness for college and careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parents and youth interested in learning how 4-H can support college and career pathways are encouraged to explore the 4-H FutureForward pilot.
