WHO WE ARE
We are a group of 4-H extension professionals that have a passion for 4-H Shooting Sports. The committee is made up of up to four 4-H Program Leaders who act as Co-Chairs of the committee. We also have two representatives from each of the four National Extension Regions and two 1890 Institution representatives. The committee also has hired a program coordinator to help with the day to day business with the committee, and a social media assistant to help with outreach.
PURPOSE
To provide a national leadership body made up of 4-H professionals to guide state 4-H shooting sports programs in alignment with national 4-H goals that oversees national competitive events, offers professional development opportunities, and trains volunteers in researched and applied best practices in positive youth development.
GOAL
To support and train state 4-H shooting sports program volunteers and Extension personnel in positive youth development, youth representation, leadership, and civic engagement, STEM learning, inclusion of underserved audiences, healthy living, and positive experiences through experiential learning in 4-H shooting sports in parallel with the National 4-H Strategic Plan that outlines successful programming by providing Effective Organizational Systems, Access, Equity, and Opportunity, Extraordinary Opportunities to Learn, and Exceptional People/Innovative Practices.
