1981
Davis, Raynold David
Abstract: This study was to determine if there were factors that could be used to select as 4-H leaders those individuals who would be more apt to continue in the 4-H program over a period of years. The sample was selected from leaders and former leaders in the Idaho volunteer 4-H leader program. Factors that affect the retention and preference of leaders were found to be: most former leaders (42.5%) were from one-leader clubs; community-type clubs had the greatest leader tenure; leaders believe the ideal number of members per leader to be 6-10 youth; jobs rated as much more inconvenient for leaders to perform included serving on camp staff, maintaining parent participation and developing parent interest; data revealed most leaders (74.8%) received training from personal study rather than leader training meetings (32.6%).
