In this training participants will reflect on their reasons for being part of the 4-H organization. In groups they will generate data about their club/program experience that will culminate in setting goals for this 4-H year. The process used in this training, models goal setting and management for youth. Youth will gain skills they can apply in setting their individual goals or when working with other groups.
