COOPERATIVE EXTENSION
Report to Weld County Commissioners
July 15, 1992
4-H Citizenship Washington Focus
The 1993 delegation involving 98 youth and 12 adult sponsors is entering its last year of three years of
fund raising efforts to finance the 1993 trip to Washington D.C. This opportunity available to 4-H
members only involves a one-week stay at the National 4-H Center in Chevy Chase, Maryland, where
delegates join some 600 other youth for an intense study of our government in action. Workshops and
field trips make our Capitol City a classroom for these youth, who return home with a plan of action to
initiate their new knowledge within their own communities.
In addition to the week in Washington, our delegation spends another four days touring historical sites
in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Amish farm country, and Colonial Williamsburg.
The Citizenship Washington Focus program is conducted at the National 4-H Center each summer.
Weld County sends a delegation every three years, giving the youth and their parents adequate time to
raise the funds without puffing a strain on the family budget. To date, over 500 Weld County 4-H
members have experienced the program since its initiation in 1973.
Junior Jamboree/Teen Counselor Training
Junior Jamboree is a week end camp for 4-H members ages 9 to 13, which is planned and conducted
by members 15 and older. This event is a cooperative effort between the counties of Weld, Larimar
and Arapahoe, and takes place in Estes Park in the spring each year. Workshops and recreational
activities focus on the development of leadership, citizenship, trust, communication, and self esteem.
The outstanding aspect is the positive role modeling by the teen counselors and the interaction
between the age groups. The 1992 camp involved 134 individuals.
In order to qualify as a teen counselor, a member must attend a training session dealing with all phases
of the responsibility and must complete a written application for the position. The training is hosted by
Weld County, with all Front Range and Golden Plains counties invited to bring youth participants.
Approximately 35 to 40 teens attend the training and in turn serve as counselors at other camps
throughout the state in addition to Junior Jamboree.
4-H Answers for Today (AFT)
In efforts to reach more youth with the benefits of 4-H, a short-term program known as AFT was
developed and launched in Greeley elementary schools as an after-school opportunity. Since 1988,
325 youth have been enrolled in the program in ten elementary schools, presented by 29 volunteer
leaders.
A long-term goal of AFT was to establish year-around clubs as a result of the short-term experience,
which will become a reality in the fall of 1992. The principals of two elementary schools have
approached the 4-H staff with requests to establish such clubs as educational and meaningful after-
school opportunities for their students.
A $3000.00 initiative grant has been approved by Colorado State University Cooperative Extension to
assist in establishing this program. A volunteer leader has been identified to serve as a middle
manager and liason between the schools and 4-H staff.
