We appreciate your time and your willingness to come together in supporting and advancing Kentucky 4-H. Included in this 4-H update is a calendar of events for September through

programs! The toolkit will focus on the topics of nutrition, food preparation, food science, gardening, health and physical activity. The toolkit is not a curriculum, but instead, instructional resources that will provide additional hands-on activities to enhance programs, camps, and other learning events. There will be activities geared toward children (ages 4 to 8) and youth (ages 9 to 15). Some of the children’s activities will have a superhero theme and the youth activities will have a comic book theme. There will also be recipes for appropriate for holiday activities, as well as general activities that can be used in a variety of situations. If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact Jennifer Tackett.

~Brooke Jenkins, Nutrition Education Program Curriculum Coordinator Physical Activity’s Fitness Waiver We now have a fitness waiver that you should be using if you are offering physical activity programs in your county. This includes Yoga for Kids TM, 4-H Dancefit, Jump into Foods and Fitness and any other program that is specifically designed to be a physical activity program. This waiver is not necessary if you are simply adding physical activity breaks to an existing program. This has been adapted from the waiver FCS is currently requiring. Below are some points of clarification regarding the use of the waiver.

1) The 4-H agent or their representative (another agent conducting the program, an assistant, or a volunteer) should make every effort to collect this waiver from program participants. 2) This waiver only applies to 4-H programs (either specifically named programs offered as complete curricula or general programs) that are primarily implemented with

the goal of offering physical activity. These programs could exist as stand along programs (i.e. doing one club lesson on Dance Fit) or as a series of programs (a health and nutrition club meeting that exercises monthly for the school year). 3) This waiver would not apply to physically active club/group activities where the primary purpose of the meeting is not physical activity. An example of this would be a "stretch break" during a club meeting, a relay race game to learn animal parts, etc. ~Jennifer Tackett, Extension Specialist for 4-H Youth Development KY SAVES Youth Piggy Bank Design Contest Please find attached the entry form for the 2019 Piggy Bank Design Contest. Kentucky Saves will be promoted during the month of the February. The entry form contains blanks to enter county specific deadlines and information. Please complete the form prior to distributing. Last year there was tremendous participation in the Youth Piggy Bank Design Contest as part of Kentucky Saves. As in past years, we plan to display the piggy banks at the Capitol for the months of February and March! Two winners from each district can be selected for display at the Capitol. Each district should conduct their own contest and set their own timeline to determine district winners.

All district winners must be submitted to Alex Elswick, NO LATER THAN JANUARY 16, 2019. This is a youth only contest. District winners will receive a certificate and letter from the Governor acknowledging their accomplishment. District winners will also be invited to a recognition ceremony at the Capitol building. Last year we had an excellent turnout of youth participating in the Capitol event. The recognition ceremony will be at the Capitol building on February 27th at 10:00. Please feel free to reach out to Alex Elswick, [email protected], directly with questions regarding the contest. ~Kim Adams-Leger, Extension Specialist for 4-H Youth Development

4-H Civic Engagement Connecting, learning, engaging, leading and impacting Over the past 18 months, the 4-H Program Leadership Working Group (PLWG) has been working with State 4-H Citizenship Specialists to look at the current work being done at the state and national levels. What has come out of that work is a revised framework that encompasses all the work being done in 4-H Youth Development nationally. We will be working with our KY 4-H Citizenship (now transitioned to Civic Engagement) Work Group to begin this transition between now and Program

Year 2020. Below is a lengthy, but important, article giving an overview of the revised framework. Please feel free to contact Chuck Stamper with any questions as we make this transition. You are welcome to begin using the new framework wording, or keep the current wording, during this 4-H program year. Definition: 4-H Civic Engagement involves working to make a positive difference in one’s community and developing the combination of knowledge, skills, values and motivation to make that difference (Elrich, 2000). 4-H youth engage within communities on many scales--from local to global--making contributions that reinforce their sense of purpose and strengthening their sense of belonging with peers and community adults. Vision: Youth will make a positive difference by engaging in learning opportunities that give them a heightened sense of responsibility and capacity to connect as active members of their communities, nation and world. Key Focus Areas

• Community engagement o Youth voice o Informed decision making o Civic responsibility

Civic education o Government principles, processes and structures o History and cultural heritage

Leadership/Citizenship

mailto:[email protected]

o Global engagement o Social justice • Service o Community service o Service learning o Community youth development

o Global context o Personal roles and responsibilities • Personal development o Leadership o Character o Mutual respect and understanding o Critical thinking and problem solving o Intercultural competence and communication o Civility

Effective 4-H Youth Civic Engagement programs will allow young people to: • CONNECT –Be active partners in a larger community as they recognize, appreciate and respect human diversity and commonality; understand their part in shaping change and work together towards the common good. • LEARN- Learn from others, self and environment to develop informed perspectives, empathy, ethics, social values, positive self-identity and sense of social responsibility. • ENGAGE-- Engage in civic education, awareness, and responsibility; social justice; public problem solving; community service, etc. • LEAD-- Develop leadership skills where youth use their voices, work, ideas or behavior for the greater good. • IMPACT—Make a difference in community, country and world Effective 4-H Youth Civic Engagement programs will include the following strategies for learning & positive youth development:

Learning • Based on appropriate national and state learning standards • Meet youth where they are • Mentorship • Experiential learning providing opportunities for practice, application and reflection including critical thinking and problem solving. • Motivation--achievement, affiliation and power/influence (McClelland’s Motivational Model) • Learning styles • Using appropriate technology

Positive Youth Development • Youth/Adult Partnership approach—youth and adults work together in a positive and respectful environment, contributing their unique strengths to the project and their relationship. • Youth are engaged in the identification, planning, implementation, leadership and evaluation of the program. • Youth in Governance • Includes the Essential Elements of Positive Youth Development—mastery, independence, belonging and generosity • Parent/guardian component running in parallel • Provide a continuum of developmentally appropriate experiences and opportunities

The plan, called 4-H Camp 2.0, will reduce the workload on agents & volunteers by adding cabin staff and staff led classes to the summer program. Through the addition of beds, counties will be able to keep their usual number of beds allotted. This innovative new program will give higher quality care and program to campers while reducing the load on agents and volunteers. Agents are encouraged to work with the Camp Director to implement this trial program for the upcoming season. ~Darrell Stillwell, Extension Principle Specialist for 4-H Youth Development

STC Spotlight

Reba Prather This is Reba’s second year serving on STC. She is from Pulaski County in District 5. Reba applied for

STC because she wanted to be a state officer and improve her leadership skills and grow her 4-H

family. Her favorite part of STC is getting to spend time with “these awesome people”.

Officer Spotlight

Jonna Woodson

Jonna is the Kentucky 4-H President and is from Muhlenberg County, District 7. When asked how she

felt when she was elected, she responded: “I was in shock - I kept telling myself that I would wake

up because there was no way this was happening to me. I’m literally living my dream, and I couldn’t

be happier!” Her favorite part about being an officer is “being able to give back to something I’m so

passionate about. I love being able to learn from 4-H’ers across the state as I’m serving throughout

this role. Every day I’m so thankful I have this chance to give back.”
