REQUEST TO RENEW ACCEPTANCE OF FUNDS FOR 4-H
PROGRAM EXPANSION IN OAKLAND COUNTY
OCTOBER 1, 1979, - SEPTEMBER 30, 1980
The Cooperative Extension Service is requesting approval to renew use of
available funds from Michigan State University. The allocation has again been
earmarked to expand 4-H Programs in urban areas of the County. Oakland County
has been designated to receive $ 81,500 for this program effort.
In the past year, the funds were utilized to continue the employment of five
additional full time 4-H Program Assistants and provide equipment, volunteer and
program development costs. Additional clerical help, contracted and commodity
costs were approved from a county appropriation of $18,730 to supplement the
program. The additional staff were used to initiate 4-H youth programs in new
areas, expand programs initiated in the first year of the grant, and to develop
program enrichment activities.
Major areas of program development in 1979-80 will continue to be extending
the learning-by-doing educational programs in youth life skills areas. Recruitment
and training of volunteer leaders, along with utilizing existing 4-H project materials,
to enchance the total 4-H program will be the major emphasis in 1979-80. In the
first eleven months of the 1978-79 program, 499 new youth were involved in on-
going club activities; 10,393 participated in other educational projects; and 355
new volunteer leaders were recruited. A total of 265 new clubs and project groups
were organized. This reflects against a goal for the expansion program of 25 new
clubs and project groups and 8,000 new youth involved. (See attached progress
report for detail.)

Request to New Funds
Major program emphasis will be in such program areas as Cross Cultural
Awareness, Afro-American Heritage, Nutrition Education, Family Living Skills,
Gardening, Cultural Understanding, Challenge and Challenge Outreach (Challenge
for delinquent and delinquency prone youth), Bicycle Safety Education, Mainstreaming
Handicapped persons, and other relevant projects. Additional resources of Michigan
State University expanded specifically with other urban expansion funds are also
available to the county through this program.
Emphasis will be placed upon the development of a volunteer nucleus in each
district area which will help to carry and support the local program efforts. Also
emphasized will be continued showing of MSU youth programs and training resources
to strengthen other County youth serving agencies through participation in the
Coalition of Youth Serving Agencies.
Plans are to involve approximately 8,000 new youth in educational projects
and increase the permanent membership base by 1,000. Also planned is the
organization of twenty-five additional 4-H Clubs, 100 Project Groups and
recruitment of 150 new volunteer leaders. A major emphasis will also be to
provide the necessary program support to the base built during the past two years.
Evaluation of the project will be conducted by Michigan State University and
results will be reported to the Board of Commissioners on a quarterly basis.
