Florida 4-H Program Handbook
SECTION 8: 4-H Event Management
How are State Events Created and Managed Within the 4-H Program?
The events are evaluated annually and programming suggestions are received from county personnel, state event committees, specialists, or the Florida 4-H Council. The programming emphasis may change from year to year, but the primary objectives remain essentially the same.
Guidelines for Extension Agents in Planning and Conducting 4-H County Events
Planning and conducting 4-H events can be a challenging task. The Guidelines for Extension Agents in Planning and Conducting 4-H Events is a publication sent to 4-H Agents every year to help with the coordination of competitive events and activities. Any questions concerning 4-H events should be directed to the 4-H Events Office.
The section on 4-H Program Management Procedures outlines a variety of other considerations you need to conduct and follow as you plan 4-H events. Please review that section carefully as you begin event planning.
Management Procedures for Out-of -County Youth Participation in Florida 4-H Programs
Management procedures for youth participating outside of the home county are very important and help to insure the health and well being of 4-Hers. These procedures include:
- Code of Conduct and Discipline Procedures,
- 4-H Member and Parent Agreement ( includes statement of risks and liability)
- Florida 4-H Participation Form,
- and The County Extension Agent Responsibility Form.
The forms are required for youth participation in out of county 4-H events and activities. A copy of these forms and explanations of use can be found in the section on Program Management Procedures but current copies should always be obtained from the forms provided on the Florida 4-H Events Website.
