Trainer Preparation… • Read all materials and check out resources noted in booklet. • Have at least one of the recipes prepared and packaged as prescribed by the curriculum. • Possibly bake or have one of the completed products for tasting. This may be something the host county can do. • Prior to conducting training, test as many recipes as possible so you can answer questions if/when asked.
Oklahoma 4-H Youth Development 4-Health for Life “Treat” with Service State 4-H Leadership Council Traveling Workshop 2010-2011 A “Healthy Serving” of service for my club and community.
About the Project 4-H members identify an audience in need of service, learn about their physical, social, emotional and mental needs and tailor a packaged product unique to these needs. How the project promotes and teaches Health? • Physical Health • Social and Emotional Health • Mental Health
Audiences • Community: Food Banks, Churches, Area Shelters, Shut-ins, Elderly or Disabled, Families in crisis, etc. • 4-H Members • Individuals learn about Food Science, Consumer Education, Personal Development, Arts and Crafts, Visual Design, as well as Citizenship, and Leadership. • Every member of the club can apply their “unique” talents in carrying out the service project.
Benefit to 4-H Club Endless months of programming when…. • Club leadership focuses on “service learning” • Membership spends quality time on learning about the audiences and their unique needs • Purposely selects, tests and modifies recipes • Designs and selects packaging and labels • Prepares the final product for delivery
Before starting… Review each of the following… • Service Learning Model • Experiential Learning Model • Life Skills Model • USDA Nutrition and Health Treat with Service embraces and is intended to use all models simultaneously.
Something for everyone… Nutrition and Health fit ALL project areas:
Putting all of the ingredients together… • Suggested outline for organizing a “Treat” project • Committees • 4-H committees are important, they teach how to share responsibility and get everyone actively involved • Excellent training ground for leadership development • Composed of youth and adults • Youth take the primary lead • Adults help the youth develop skills To learn more about committees refer to 4H.VOL304, 4-H Leadership Guide
What this is and is not… IS NOT • A cookbook of recipes • A community service project What it is…. • A “true” example of service-learning • A valuable experience teaching “life skills” • Teaching entrepreneurial skills • An opportunity for any member to find their place in a club project • Teaching “committee work” • Providing a lot of leadership roles and experience
Scenario… Audience: After researching three different audiences the club voted to provide its services to the county Senior Living Center. Situation: The residents live in efficiency apartments, have limited income and dietary restrictions. Plan: Center staff have provided the club with a list of residents and their nutritional/health case histories. Your task – Group 1 - Review recipes and select three per resident based on their case history. Note those which will need testing and modifications. Group 2 – Design a label, nutrition label and recipe card for attaching to the finished product.
Reflect… Questions • How did the health history of the residents influence decisions – recipe or packaging? • In what way would knowing the individuals interests be important in this process? In what ways does this relate back to the five types of health? • How did you feel about the type of group you were assigned? Would you have preferred the other group and why?
Apply… Questions • Why is it important to help youth to find what it is they are passionate about? How will this influence their dedication and follow through in a leadership role? • What might be necessary to prepare them for thinking/empathizing with the resident’s needs? • In what other ways in 4-H project work and experiences is doing the research important to the overall learning process/experience?
What Comes Next… At the club level… • Find an audience • Identify the audience’s physical, social, emotional, and mental needs • Appoint committees/Delegate duties to members • Choose or develop recipes that meet the audience’s needs • Design and prepare packaging and labels • Prepare and deliver final product
“Treat” with Service… By taking part in the project, YOU are providing a “Healthy Serving” of service to your club and community!
