What is the 4-H Leader's Job?
1. To help 4-H members learn specific project skills. 4-H members have fun with projects while "learning by doing". Youth remember better if they actually experience something and have an opportunity for "hands-on-learning". We help each member develop good habits, experiment with new ideas, and practice problem-solving skills. By doing this, we help them become self-directed, productive, contributing members of society.
2. To teach 4-H members how to think, not what to think. We help develop creative thinking in young people by giving them a chance to make decisions on their own.
3. To recognize and encourage each 4-H member so they feel noticed and important. The most significant recognition that can be given to members is sincere praise, attention, or compliments.
This is what 4-H is all about - the personal development of the boy and girl.
