Each year in late autumn, state 4-H faculty
collect critical data from county 4-H professionals regarding the professionals’
needs and assets in leading county 4-H programs. The assessment may be organized
around the 4-H PRKC model, NC 4-H Long Range Focus Areas (LRFAs), or a specific
program or professional area.
The resulting data are compiled,
summarized, and shared with state 4-H program staff so as to better plan and
implement effective in-service opportunities during the following year in
support of county 4-H professionals and programs.
