This practitioner handbook aims to make local 4-H programs more accessible, welcoming, and culturally relevant. Written in an easily accessible style, this handbook will introduces 4-H professionals and volunteers to methods that can effectively strengthen diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging to welcome new youth into their 4-H program.
The handbook opens with a fascinating overview of 4-H history for an understanding of where the program has been, before turning to the future and seeing where the program might go.
For those already familiar with 4-H, the authors hope to bring something new or insightful; for those new to 4-H it offers an introduction into the history and mission of the program. This handbook should serve as common ground for all who are working to steward and improve the 4-H program.
