The purpose of this study was to describe the characteristics, attitudes and perceptions of Ohio junior leaders about the junior leadership program. Junior leaders from 10 counties in Ohio participated. A mailed questionnaire was used to collect data. The most valuable leadership activities were found to be helping with junior fair activities, teaching younger 4-H members and being a camp counselor.

Respondents ranked the most important purpose of junior leadership to be to learn to lead grounds and secondly, to meet people and make a friend. The areas of training which respondents believed they needed most were how to motivate 4-H members to participate, how to recruit new members and styles and concept of leadership. The type of recognition they would like to receive was certificates, plaques or trophies. Recognition by advisors and 4-H agents was also desired.
