4-H Programs of Distinction
Online Database
The 4-H
Programs of Distinction are a collection
of descriptions of high quality state and
local 4-H youth development programs that:
- exhibit strong program development and
contribute to the youth development body
of knowledge,
- convey new ideas, materials, or innovative
methods related to positive youth development,
- represent long-term program efforts and
impact data over an extended period of
time, and
- demonstrate changes in knowledge, behaviors,
attitudes or aspirations of 4-H youth and
adults.
Candidate programs can be submitted at any
time. Submission
guidelines (PDF) outline the evaluation
criteria, formatting requirements, and other
specific instructions. A template will soon
be developed for other mediums, including
reports and media press kits. For more information,
contact Shannon
Bedo, Program Specialist, National 4-H
Headquarters.
