This spreadsheet provides ADE staff with a snapshot of what classes are being offered and the number of students that are being served. It enables ADE staff to provide technical assistance throughout the year to grantees that may need additional guidance instead of waiting to receive data at the end of the year in the APR.

Change to Form!!

This year there is a slight change to the form. Instead of completing separate forms for the Fall, Spring and Summer classes, the form is now set up as a continuous summary of classes form, meaning you will use one form per site for the entire fiscal year (July 1, 2011-June 30, 2012). Please contact your program specialist if you have any questions regarding the new form.

We are lucky to have this program here, because it is part of the University of Arizona, one of the nation’s 109 land-grant universities.

 

The 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development, a longitudinal study conducted by the Institute for Applied Research in Youth Development at Tufts University, shows youth engaged with 4-H are:

  • Nearly two times more likely to get better grades in school;
  • Nearly two times more likely to plan to go to college;
  • 41 percent less likely to engage in risky behaviors; and
  • 25 percent more likely to positively contribute to their families and communities.

 We expect you’ll leave the day with many exciting strategies and ideas to support and sustain your own 21st CCLC program.

 Following this day long professional development event, shorter trainings will be offered regionally to teach older students, 21st CCLC staff and volunteers to utilize the Cooperative Extension’s research-based curriculum and resources to lead high quality engaging programs for youth.
