Teen Leadership and Development Fact Sheets: Preparing Teens for Opportunities Beyond the Local Level | Virginia 4-H offers a wide variety of opportunities
beyond the local level that enable teens to develop the
knowledge, skills, attitudes, and aspirations needed for
success. However, before we involve teens in opportunities
such as State 4-H Cabinet, State 4-H Congress,
Virginia 4-H All Stars, Citizenship Washington Focus,
National 4-H Congress, and National 4-H Conference,
we — as 4-H professionals — must be sure the teens are
adequately prepared for such ventures. This fact sheet
provides tips on how to prepare your teens for district,
state, national, and international 4-H opportunities. |

Teen Leadership and Development Fact Sheets: Recruitment and Retention of Teens | Often, society hears negative reports related to teens —
for example, 51 percent cheated on a test in the last year
(Josephson Institute of Ethics 2012) — and the lack of
positive opportunities provided for teens contributes
to these statistics. Research shows that when teens are
engaged in long-term, positive opportunities with caring
adults, they are more likely to be academically productive
in high school and to graduate (Lerner et al.
2011). 4-H Youth Development provides the longitudinal
opportunities and caring adults who promote positive
outcomes for teens. However, the recruitment and
retention of teen 4-H members is often difficult because
of family and community factors. While these factors
may inhibit positive teen opportunities, there are other
factors that can help overcome the barriers. |

In the event of emergencies or disasters, injured people need to receive help within the first hour of the incident. Often family members and co-workers are the initial first responders. First-aid kits are a necessity for attending to victims and should be kept in homes, vehicles, schools and workplaces. |

Child Emergency Preparedness | Children and Disasters: Disasters can leave children feeling frightened, confused and insecure. Children may respond to disaster by demonstrating fears, sadness or behavioral problems. Younger children may return to earlier behavior patterns, such as bedwetting, sleep problems and separation anxiety. Older children also may display anger, aggression, school problems or withdrawal. Some children who have only indirect contact with the disaster but witness it on television also may develop distress. Whether a child has personally experienced trauma, has merely seen the event on TV or has heard it discussed by adults, parents and teachers should be informed and ready to help if reactions to stress begin to occur. |

Floods | Floods are one of the most common hazards in the United States. A flood is defined as any high flow, overflow or inundation by water that causes or threatens damage. Flood effects can be local, impacting a neighborhood or community, or very large, affecting entire river basins and multiple states.

Preparing for an Emergency: Make a Family Emergency Kit | Preparing for emergencies is not new. Your grandparents probably have extra supplies, such as: soap and shampoo in the bathroom closets, onions and potatoes stored in the basement, and canned goods on pantry shelves in their home. They understood the value of having a little extra on hand in case of emergencies. All states and counties have experienced disasters. Virginian’s have experienced ice storms, thunder storms, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, and power outages. It is wise to be prepared for the unexpected. |
