 In 2007, the Delaware 4-H Foundation directly supported the following
4-Hers and indirectly funded thousands more. Here are some of the
programs and 4-Hers who benefitted from the Foundation supported
projects.
Other Programs and Projects Supported by Foundation Funding in 2007
State 4-H Leader Forum
Volunteers are the backbone of the 4-H program; the 4-H club experience
would not exist without volunteers. Caring adult volunteers are a
hallmark of the 4-H program. The educational program at the State 4-H
Forum provides volunteers with new program ideas and strategies to
provide a broad array of experiences for young people. Volunteers from
all corners of the state participate in this important training event.
State 4-H Teen Conference
Leadership Development is one of 4-H’s main programmatic thrusts and
this program contributes to the development of teen leaders that are
vital to local 4-H clubs as well as the county and state 4-H program.
Legislative Day
Legislative Day offers 4-H members, parents and volunteers an
opportunity to not only learn about democracy but to see it in action.
Teen leaders have been able to speak on the floor of the Delaware House
and Senate Chambers about their 4-H experience. All participants have
the opportunity to visit with their local legislators.
Shooting Sports
Funds from the Wild Turkey Federation and other donors support an
extensive volunteer training program as well as the purchase of
equipment for shooting sports programs conducted with local 4-H clubs,
at County and State 4-H Camps and with the 4-H Afterschool Program.
Favorite Foods
The Foundation has provided prizes for the County 4-H Favorite Foods contests.
County Awards
Each county is provided with $500 from the Foundation to support awards and recognition materials.
State Trophies
The Foundation has supported the trophies for many state 4-H events
including Public Speaking, Tractor Driving, Compact Tractor, etc.
