Abstract Details

2012, Master of Arts (MA), Ohio University, History (Arts and Sciences).
This thesis will acknowledge and explore how, since the 1980s, both state and nation-wide 4-H programs have worked with each other, utilized the others’ ideas, and revolutionized how 4-H has changed to reach youth from all areas of the country. In a survey of historical research, and by utilizing primary source materials from the 1980s and 1990s, I will explain how 4-H shifted to a scientific and technological focus that would promote its organization to a plethora of youth. By covering this topic, this thesis will thoroughly explain how 4-H personnel reached out to new demographics through innovative programming and adapted to growing change.
