4-H Impact Study to find out more about the larger study.
The Minnesota 4-H Youth Survey was designed to “test”
our program theory (see below) – largely framed by the Keys
to Quality Youth Development (revised, 1999). This document
highlights eight key goals for positive youth development, including
activities and actions that adults can provide youth in order to
yield these outcomes. Analysis of these 8 Keys reveals six
overarching developmental outcomes. The survey explores whether
youth are experiencing these opportunities in 4-H (as promoted by
the 8 Keys), where they are in terms of these six developmental
outcomes, as well as attitudes about school and community, risk
indicators, and involvement in other activities.
