More than Cows & Cooking: Newest Research Shows the Impact of 4-H.
Astroth, Kirk A.; Haynes, George W.
Journal of Extension, v40 n4 Aug 2002
A Montana survey of 2,500 students' use of out-of-school time found that only 17% reported no involvement in out-of-school activities. 4-H participants were less likely to shoplift, steal, smoke cigarettes, ride with a drunk driver, or damage property. They were more likely to develop self-confidence and social competence, demonstrate leadership, and feel accepted by adults. (SK)
