New Jersey 4‑H members in grades 9-11 who are members in good standing are invited to participate in a multi-level leadership program called the Leadership for Life Program.
Adopted from Ireland's youth development program Foróige, the Leadership for Life Program is based on theories and principles of youth work, leadership development and leadership styles.
Offered in three sequential modules, this program is aimed at equipping young people to explore their vision and passion and to develop such key skills as: planning, decision making, critical thinking, goal setting, and problem solving.
Each module consists of 10-15 hours of educational workshops with topics serving as a bridge from one level to the next. Modules (levels) 1 and 2 will be offered within this 4‑H year and the opportunity to apply for Module 3 and the Advanced Module will be available in Summer 2020 or 2021.
Members must complete Modules 1 and 2 before they are eligible to apply to complete Module 3 and the advanced Module during a 9-day travel experience to the Foróige Leadership for Life Conference at the University of Ireland in Maynooth, Ireland.
