| dc.description | The changes 4H has undergone during its long history are many, but the change this thesis addresses is related to broadening the 4H program in Wisconsin on the county level, as well as the rest of the University of Wisconsin Extension - Cooperative Extension Service's youth outreach effort. The change is an attempt to involve all parts of a comnunity in the youth nurturance and education process and it would be made possible by the adoption of a model proposed by a team of Wisconsin 4H Youth Development Faculty. The model is identified in a discussion paper ("Future Directions: Wisconsin 4H Youth Development") as one prong of a three pronged approach to 4H programming in Wisconsin. The approach was designed to address the Cooperative Extension System's national initiatives and issues program goals of the 1990s (Gleason, 1988). These national initiatives include competitiveness and profitability of American agriculture; water quality; improving nutrition, diet and health; revitalizing rural America; alternative agricultural opportunities; conservation and management of natural resources; family and economic well-being; and building human capital. These eight were identified by the National Priorities Policy Task Force in mid-1986 (Cooperative Extension Service, 1987, p. 1). A ninth national initiative, "Youth at Risk," was added in Spring of 1988 (Cooperative Extension Service, 1988, p. 2). The initiative's designing task force was appointed by Extension Service, USDA, and the Extension Service Committee on Organization and Policy (ECOP). | en_US |
