4-H Policy Advisory Committee

The Policy Advisory Committee is composed of a representative and diverse group of youth, volunteers, and staff to discuss policy issues related to the California 4-H Youth Development Program.  The committee examines policy issues to determine if new or revised policies are needed, drafts recommendations for policies, and identifies appropriate review for policy changes.  The committee makes recommendations to the State 4-H Director and the ANR Administrative Policy Coordinator who will take the recommendations to the appropriate decision-making body (Vice President, Controller, etc.)  The committee also provides leadership and guidance regarding implementation of new or revised policies.  This includes developing a plan and timeline for implementation and follow up; developing FAQ sheets and other supporting documents; and revising inserts for the 4-H YDP policy manual.
