NIFA Preselected Projects for NTAE
4-H Pathways Leadership Institute
Fellow: Andrew Turner, Cornell University Roadmap Pathways Fellow Report:
The purpose of this project is to develop an Institute for virtual team building, visioning, and strategy creation conference that addresses the issues, opportunities, and barriers facing the Cooperative Extensions 4-H Youth Development program. The Institute will bring LGU leaders together in a strategic partnership that supports the process of creating an LGU by LGU strategy for moving 4 -H forward towards the national growth and PYD goals. The 4-H Pathways Project moved forward on their core goals for the NTAE project with the creation and scheduling of the first Level Two Pathways Leadership Institute. The two-session program took place from 1-4 p.m. on February 3 and 10, 2022. The University of Florida, U. of Nebraska, and Washington State University are participating in the Institute. Please see the attached Level Two Institute workbook for details on the upcoming sessions, including our speakers, LGU participants, and new case studies developed to support this next level of work. ● Several significant new resources have been developed in support of the first Level Two Institute, most notably the development of four new one-page case studies to stimulate and focus discussion during the Institute. A new segment was incorporated that will ask each LGU team participating in the Institute to develop and deliver a five-minute "pitch" that describes the next series of core actions they must take as a team to continue to move their shared value proposition forward that they developed during their participation in the Level One Pathways Leadership institute. ● There are three main areas for the next reporting period: ○ Setting the dates and recruiting participants for two additional Level One Institutes between April and August 2022. The goal is to reach an additional 8 LGUs over these two sessions. ○ Full evaluation and follow-up from our first Level Two Institute, including a face-to-face planning retreat and reporting progress back to the ECOP 4-H
