Thriving With an Equity Lens: Fact Sheets

The 4-H PLWG, Access, Equity, and Belonging Committee created a series of Fact Sheets to ensure the nationally adopted 4-H Thriving Model is explored and utilized through an equity lens.  We hope these resources support 4-H professionals throughout the country and help youth fully thrive.

From reading these Fact Sheets, you will learn:

✅ Social conditions of the specific youth population
✅ Competencies needed to engage the specific youth population
✅ Methods to foster belonging and participation
✅Tactics for making 4-H relevant and marketable, and more!
