Louisiana 4-H Volunteer Information

Dennis Marcantel from Monsanto brought greetings from the company’s headquarters to more than 50 4-H adult volunteers and staff attending the 2011 Louisiana 4-H Volunteer Forum. The event, i4-H: There’s An App for That! was held March 11-13, 2011, at the Marriott ConferenceCenter in Baton Rouge, La.

The mission of the Southern Region 4-H Volunteer Forum is to increase the capacity of volunteers and salaried staff to contribute to the achievement of the mission of 4-H Youth Development and the Cooperative Extension system. The primary purpose of the SRVF is to educate and prepare participants to share the information that they learned and practice the skills that they have developed, through participating in the forum, at home in their own 4-H programs and activities.

Louisiana 4-H recommends schools and youth organizations across Louisiana teach the same character trait each month and integrate decision making into lessons and daily activities.

Educators sometimes feel unprepared when new students arrive as a result of disaster they experience, and current students sometimes have difficulty feeling empathy for the new transfer students. This lesson plan can be used with groups of youth in junior high and high school who need guidance in dealing with a change in their social environment, i.e., their school, following a disaster or even after positive changes in their life situation.
