The impact of the 4-H program on Nevada public school youth

A 4-H impact evaluation conducted in Montana, Idaho, Colorado, and Utah was replicated in the Nevada public schools. The purpose was to measure the impact of the 4-H experience on the lives of Nevada youth. ANOVA for constructs by independent variables, age groups, gender, 4-H participation, and population density revealed that 4-H participation significantly contributed to the variance in extracurricular activity involvement (p .001), school leadership positions held (p = .025), caring for others (p .001), and self-confidence, character, and empowerment (p =.004). by Extension Journal, Inc.
