About LEAD Academy:
LEAD Academy is geared towards 4-H members who are currently in
the 9th – 12th grades (as of the current 4-H
year). Youth will have an opportunity to learn about college opportunities and
what it takes to get there, serve their community, and gain valuable life
skills in a true college setting. Our goal of this activity will be to provide
the opportunity for young people to connect, learn, engage, lead and impact
their communities, their country and their world. The event will be designed to
engage youth in hands-on educational activities in which they explore, practice
and master existing and newly developed skills/knowledge in civic engagement,
civic education and personal development. The objective is to provide youth a
broad-based learning experience in which they will acquire practical knowledge
and skills to reinforce the attitudes and motivation that will give them a
heightened sense of responsibility and capacity to connect as active members of
their communities, nation and world. From this experience, we hope the youth
attending will apply what was learned in their real world experiences in which
they develop leadership skills using their voices, work, ideas and/or behavior
to make a difference in their community, country and world.
Adult
attendees will have the chance to connect with other volunteers and
parents. Our goal is to provide useful information for 4-H volunteers and
parents so they may learn how to improve their skills as a 4-H leader in their
community. The event is designed to provide workshops that are practical
and helpful to adults involved with the 4-H program. From this
experience, we hope our 4-H volunteers will be able to apply what they learn to
continue to help our members grow into productive members of society that make
a positive impact in their lives and communities.
*2020 LEAD Academy will look a little different. Unfortunately due
to the COVID-19 situation, all events held at Texas A&M University have
been canceled through July 31st. This impacted our Texas 4-H
Roundup/LEAD Academy event. This year our event will be a virtual experience!!
We feel the information provide through our LEAD Academy is valuable and we
wanted to continue to provide this opportunity to our 4-H members, families and
volunteers.
