4-H Pathways Leadership Institute
Fellow: Andrew Turner, Cornell University Roadmap
Fellow Report: The leadership team for the ECOP 4-H Pathways Institute project began meeting in September to plan a third Level One Pathways Leadership Institute in October, and to begin planning for three Institutes between January and August, 2022. The October Institute session was supported by funding from the National 4-H Council. An in person planning retreat was held on Monday, November 8 in Washington D.C. to create an outline and initial scope for the rst Level Two Institute, a core deliverable of our NTAE funded project. The Level Two Institute will be available only to the 13 Land Grant Universities who have already participated in a Level One session. The Level II sessions will identify opportunities for momentum for each triad (4-H, Extension and University leadership) as they progress along the Pathways Process. It will consist of two half day sessions, separated by a week in which one-on-one coaching will be available. As part of the pre-work, teams will take a self-assessment to identify where they are on the Pathway. The sessions will then consist of speakers from organizations that have successfully pivoted direction, mini cases, and small group discussions on organizations that have overcome barriers to success. Each triad team will also develop an "elevator pitch" designed to create a foundation for communicating the emerging vision and goals to broader stakeholder groups.

Experience(s) working with your Catalysts and Key Informants: ● Our Catalyst/Team Informants have been extremely helpful. Chuck Hibberd has been participating in our planning sessions, including our full day retreat, asking challenging and helpful questions, and pointing us towards additional support. Significant Results: ● We have completed a third Level One Institute, held on October 27 and 28 via Zoom. This session was supported by funding from the National 4-H Council. The session reached 4-H, Extension, and University leaders from the University of Connecticut, University of Idaho, University of New Hampshire, and University of the Virgin Islands. See attached program outline and schedule. ● We have created an outline and application process for the rst Level Two Pathways Institute and released the applications to the 13 eligible institutions on December 6, 2021. The Level II Institute is scheduled to take place as two half day sessions on February 3rd and 10th 2022.
