4-H leaders and 4-H members attitudes toward selected aspects of the 4-H program in Pittsburg County

The purpose of the study was to gain information about the attitudes of 4-H members and leaders toward aspects of the Pittsburg County 4-H program. One hundred and eight 4-H members and 30 leaders responded to questions about events held in the county. 4-H'ers participated in county activities because they felt it would help develop their leadership skills and with their personal development. Leaders and parents had the least influence on decisions made by the 4-H members in this study. Lack of interest was found to be the main reason why the young people did not participate.
