Welcome to new State 4-H Leader
Dr. Denise Legvold
University of Illinois Extension welcomes
Dr. Denise Legvold as Assistant Dean and Director,
4-H Youth Development. Dr. Legvold received a
Ph.D. from Mississippi State University in 2008 with
an emphasis in Extension Administration.
Dr. Legvold's most recent work experience has been
as a 4-H Program Coordinator/Regional Extension
Agent for the Alabama Cooperative Extension
System. From 2000-2002, Denise served as Unit Leader, South Suburban
Cook County, University of Illinois Extension. She also worked for
Michigan State University Extension and Iowa State University
Extension.
Beginning with enrollment of 4-H members in September 2009, a $20
per year 4-H Program Fee will be applied to members of community
clubs, special interest groups, Cloverbud groups, and after-school
programs that meet regularly. Most of the fee will stay locally and be
used by the local program to help 4-H support costs. Six dollars will be
forwarded to the State 4-H program to provide educational, technical,
and logistical support to maintain the 4-H program at all levels. No
individual will be denied participation in 4-H due to the inability to pay.
Extension offices may be contacted for scholarship information or other
payment assistance. Clubs and groups may choose to do fundraising or
collect donations to offset the 4-H Program Fees for their members. For
more
information, contact your local Extension Office. The program fee will
be used to help maintain the quality of the 4-H program as shared in the
“Waves of the Future” research study conducted by Tufts University that
compared 4-H members to youth in other out-of-school programs. The
study found that “4-Hers do better in school and are more likely to see
themselves going to college” and “are less likely to engage in risky
behaviors.”

Leadership Equals Service to Others
As society changes, we need young people who are prepared to lead and
help communities. Twenty-three Effingham County 4-H Youth
Ambassadors (ECYA) currently participate in the Effingham Leadership
Academy. These ambassadors are currently developing seven aspects of
leadership through hands-on experiences. Throughout the academy,
members have participated in community service projects, allowing them
to practice leadership skills while learning the value of giving back.
The impact on the community has been significant. ECYA members
donated a total of 510 hours, translating into a cost savings of $10,327.50
to those organizations. ECYA members are also utilizing their skills by
taking on leadership roles in their communities and schools. One ECYA
member, recently elected to a school group, struggled with how the group
functioned. By using parliamentary procedures learned through the acad-
emy, the group is now running more efficiently. Leading by example,
they are also transferring their skills to other members of these groups.
