Diversity inclusion in 4-H youth programs: Examining the perceptions among West Virginia 4-H Youth Professionals

The study sought to examin the perceptions of 4-H youth professionals toward diversity inclusion in 4-H programs. A majority positively reported that there are benefits for youth of color and youth with disabilities in 4-H youth programs. Respondents also indicated that the lack of information received by potential participants was the greatest barrier to diversity-inclusive 4-H programs.
