4-H Military Partnership Advisory Committee
California is home to approximately 170,000 military youth, the highest presence of military youth in the United States. It is essential that we connect national, state, and local community partner programs to help serve military youth and their families. The California 4-H Military Partnership is currently seeking interested individuals to serve rotating two year terms on an advisory committee.
The 4-H Military Partnership Advisory Committee is comprised of a diverse and representative group of 4-H YDP youth, volunteers, staff, community partners and military personnel with an interest and expertise in the special needs of youth and families that have a loved one serving in the military. The purpose of the committee includes the following:
- Represent the interests of military youth activities and programs throughout the state.
- Enhance the effectiveness of the educational deliveries and opportunities for the 4-H Military Partnership.
- Establish direction for statewide 4-H Military Partnership programs and identify opportunities for youth.
- Determine the training and development needs of 4-H staff, military staff, volunteers, and youth and assist in delivering appropriate training opportunities.
- Gather input on program direction, events, educational opportunities and other matters pertaining to the 4-H Military Partnership.
- Locate, review, and make recommendations on military youth educational materials.
- Seek collaborative opportunities with other groups or organizations as appropriate.
- Assist in the development of a handbook outlining policies, procedures and best practices for 4-H Military clubs.
