4-H CHALLENGE

Is 4-H Challenge for Me?
4-H Challenge is for everybody. Groups are always welcome to schedule the 4-H Challenge courses. Groups who have used our program in the past include schools, youth clubs, athletic teams, families, corporations, agency staff, religious groups and camps. Retreats and training are held for individuals who want to work on specific skills or learn to lead Challenge activities for their own group.

Program Effectiveness
Evaluation reveals that nearly all our course participants demonstrate improvements in one or more of these life skills: self-confidence, responsibility, willingness to take appropriate physical and emotional risks, ability to work together as a group, communication, decision making and problem solving skills.

Full Value Concepts:
4-H Challenge programs create an environment where participants ask for and receive trustworthy support from their team. "Challenge of Choice" is used so participants are encouraged, but never coerced or pressed to participate in any activity.

Groups are asked to:
Work together and maintain a physically and emotionally safe environment as they solve problems presented by the course.
Participants grow and learn about themselves as they strive for accomplishments previously thought impossible.
The group gives and receives honest feedback during activities and debriefs to relate what is learned during 4-H Challenge to their daily lives.

Program Collaborators
The 4-H Challenge program began in 1990 as a Ferry County/USDA project, servicing the Colville Reservation, Ferry County, and neighboring counties. It continues because of successful collaboration between WSU Cooperative Extension, the Colville Confederated Tribes, and Ferry County Community Mobilization.
