Eat, grow, lead 4-H club was created as a pilot program for college students seeking to gain experience as non-formal youth educators, specifically serving pre-entry level Extension educators through a university-based 4-H club. Seventeen student volunteers contributed an estimated 630 hours of service to the club during spring 2011. The club served 23 children of students living on-campus hoursing at Oklahoma State University. The primary purpose for sharing this "idea at work?" is to encourage university faculty to create similar programs to serve college students seeking careers as Extension educators.
