The primary purpose of this research was to determine what 4-H Volunteer Leader risk management policies and procedures should be recommended as best practice recommendations to 4-H Programs across the United States.Two studies were utilized in the research. To determine the importance of 4-H Volunteer Leaders and 4-H Volunteer Leader risk management policies and procedures to a successful 4-H Program, a five-round Delphi study that used simple grouping, ranking, and a five-point Likert scale was conducted. The survey audience consisted of 4-H Agents and Educators from across the country who were identified by their State 4-H Leader as having a successful 4-H Program. There was a total of 47 people or 50\% of the original group from 17 states who participated in all five rounds of the study. The data showed 4-H Volunteer Leaders rank as the most important asset and background screening ranked as the most important 4-H Volunteer Leader policy or procedure necessary to a successful 4-H Program.The second survey consisted of two qualitative and 36 quantitative questions. The survey audience was made up of 4-H Volunteer Leader Specialists and State 4-H Leaders from all 50 states. The group was asked to identify the reason for the heightened awareness and concern for 4-H Volunteer Leader risk management policies and procedures, the 4-H Volunteer Leader risk management policies and procedures currently in place in their states, and what policies and procedures they would like to see changed.All 50 states or 100\% of the survey audience completed the questionnaire, confirming the need for the study. The majority of the group attributed the heightened awareness to occurrences of abuse by adults and volunteers in other youth organizations and institutions. From the policies and procedures identified as being followed in a majority of 4-H Programs across the country and from recommendations of changes in current policies, a total of fifteen best practice recommendations were identified in the research. These recommendations will be presented to 4-H Programs nationwide in hopes to not only protect the 4-H Program, but more importantly, better protect the youth they serve.

This practice based thesis was commissioned by the 4-H Association in Hameenlinna area. The cooperation with the asosciation started in 2011, during a locum-tenency as a club instructor. In the fall of 2012, the idea of the thesis was born. The 4-H association had a need for a self-expression club which would engage childen. The target group for the club consisted of 6-10 year old children. The children participated in the planning of the club by drawing, giving interviews and testing the plan. The instructors answered an inquiry regarding the plan. The challenge was the different level of development between children of 6 and 10 years of age. Using the perspective of drama education when choosing he exercises and games added an expressive aspect to the club. The result of the study was a set of implementaion plans for six club sessions, which the 4-H association in the area can use as they want in the future.
The self-expression club engages children and uses drama education as a starting point. There are many games, easy drama exercises and improvisation. Parts of the plan were tested by children and were found workable.

This study investigated the acquisition, interpretation, and utilization of research evidence in the 4-H Youth Development Program from the frame of Social Cognitive Theory. Utilizing Consensual Qualitative Research, we interviewed twenty 4-H faculty, staff, and volunteers from seven states. Results indicated four domains, which covered participants\’ definitions of research utilization, their experiences utilizing research, the process of acquiring and distributing research, and barriers and facilitators to research utilization. Participants described research use primarily in terms of improving 4-H programs. They discussed their level of confidence (i.e. self-efficacy) in finding and applying research evidence and their beliefs about the outcomes of research utilization (i.e. outcomes expectancy). Participants mentioned such barriers as not knowing where to look for research, lack of time, lack of funding, and difficulty applying research findings to their work. The facilitators included support from other 4-H colleagues and availability of 4-H specific conferences, publications, and curriculum databases.

The authors used data from Grades 5 through 7 of the longitudinal 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development to assess relations among sports participation and other out-of-school-time (OST) activities and indicators of youth development. The benefits of sports participation were found to depend, in part, on specific combinations of multiple activities in which youths participated along with sports. Participation in a comiantion of sports and youth development programs was related to positive youth development and youth contribution, even after controlling for the total time youths spent in OST activities and their sports participation duration.

The relations in early adolescence among out-of-school-time activities and indicators of youth development were assessed through the use of 8th grade data from the longitudinal, 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development. Hierarchical multiple linear regressions indicated that \“hanging out\” with friends without set plans and excessive media use were associated with lower behavioral engagement with school, lower academic achievement, and higher rates of risk behaviors. Youth who ate dinner with their family reported higher levels of emotional engagement, lower depression and risk behaviors, and better grades. Engagement in civic activities was associated with higher levels of emotional engagement. Behavioral and emotional engagement were both associated with better grades and lower depression. Emotional school engagement was also associated with lower rates of risk behaviors. Implications of the findings for evaluating the role of out-of-school-time activities and behavioral and/or emotional school engagement in academic achievement and youth development are discussed.

The study addressed the question of what qualities identified the agents from their own perspective. A Q-sort technique was adopted as agents identified and ranked criteria for selecting agents considered to be of the highest quality.

The entire population of county agents in North Carolina were surveyed, providing between 39 and 55 percent response rates. The 34 criteria involved personality (14), general-professional (7) and extension-specific attributes. Agents placed a high value on attributes that described the interpersonal nature of their job and on skills associated with communication, teaching and knowing their clientele. Agents tended to consider their professional organization activity, personal continuing education, personal appearance or involvement in community development to have a limited association with their job responsibility and/or performance.

Male and female agents differed little in their perceptions on the importance of given criteria. Agents of home economics viewed certain extension specific attributes to be of more importance and certain personality attributes as less important than other agents. The reverse tended to be true for 4-H agents. Perceptions of agriculture agents tended to fall in between. There were no distinctive patterns for general professional attributes.

A comparative study was performed to identify personal characteristics and motivation of volunteer leaders from two youth groups: 4-H and Campfire. Data analysis was based on the responses obtained from 64 volunteer leaders. The characteristics investigated included: expected period of service, support and encouragement, time spent on volunteer activities, satisfaction from service rendered, enrollment of volunteer leaders children, place of residence, length of residence, educational level, employment status, age, gender and ethnicity. Affiliation, achievement and power motivation were also assessed. Most of the personal characteristics investigated were determined to be similar among the two groups. Both 4-H and Campfire volunteer leaders were highly achievement and affiliation motivated.

The study measured changes in 29 behaviors related to the objectives of the National 4-H Executive Development Institute as reported by the Institute participants. The population consisted of Extension professionals selected by their states and a national selection committee. The purpose of the institute was to prepare these professionals for assuming chief executive leadership roles in state 4-H programs. The institute was held over a two year period and included five intensive six day group sessions, held approximately 6 months apart. Questionnaires for this study were distributed by mail to the participants 10 months after the final session. Forty-seven participants (85\%) returned completed questionnaires along with 40 supervisors (73\%) and forty-five colleagues (80\%). Participants reported significant changes for the 29 behavior and constituents validated that they had observed all but five behaviors to exist at the same level as reported by the participants.

The greatest behavioral changes related to the Institute session on Politics, Policy and Extension.

Factors which affect a youth\&$\#$39;s decision to reenroll or drop out of a 4-H club, after one year of membership were studied. A sample of youth who enrolled in Wyoming at 8 years of age and then either reenrolled or dropped out were sent a survey about their 4-H experience. Their parents were sent a similar instrument. A total of 250 of 540 surveys were returned and processed. Frequency and contingency tables were used to determine statistical significance of the responses.

The purpose of the study was to determine if certain attitudes of active Montana 4-H members and dropouts, ages 13 to 15, are different to identify reasons associated with dropping out of the program. Present and past 4-H members who were 13-15 years of age when enrolled in 4-H were sent a researcher developed instrument. The data received by the survey were tested using the Pearson r correlation coefficient and the chi-square test of independence. The major conclusions drawn from this study are that: 4-H may not be for every youth, but the 4-H program should explore ways to broaden its appeal while retaining its 4-H image, 4-H and school will vie for young people\&$\#$39;s time and family participation in 4-H is important to 4-H member retention

The purpose of the study was to determine if there was a relationship between the educational orientation toward teaching adults and job performance. The Educational Orientation Questionnaire (EOQ), a 60-item instrument developed by Hadley (1975) provided scores on an andragogical-pedagogical continuum. Job performance was measured by the Extension Agent Behaviors and Results Anchored Rating System (EABRARS), a performance appraisal instrument developed for this study (based on the standards developed by the American Institutes for Research for the Cooperative Extension Services (1979). The EOQ was sent to the population of 146 agents employed in agriculture, home economics, 4-H/youth, community development and forestry. The response rate was 89\% with 130 completed instruments. No differences in behavior, results or total job performance ratings were found between these groups.
