Best Practices
There are many different approaches to take when incorporating 4-H into afterschool programs. Step-by-step instructions are not listed as each program should be reflective of local community needs.
The following best practices from other counties in Utah will help you get started. As you read about each program, find the program that will best suit your county situation and contact the individual county for more ideas.
Contact the State 4-H Office if more information is needed.
Included in the Best Practices section are two videos recorded in Cache County. The interviews video has a collection of interviews with parents and children regarding what they like best about the afterschool program. The today video is a short clip from the Lights On Afterschool 2003 Event in Logan, UT. (Windows Media Player is required to view these videos)
