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.
