4-H Evaluation
Spark Survey Results
The Spark Surveys are open twice a year for 4-H youth to fill out in the Online Record Book (ORB). The surveys allow us to take a "snapshot" of the 4-H'ers in the Fall and then again in the Spring. They allow us to evaluate the effectiveness of the 4-H program in developing youth in various areas.
This infographic reflects the results from Spark Surveys completed by 4-H'ers in Spring 2018. Download a PDF of this infographic to share with your community partners, government officials, and more, to show how 4-H is helping youth grow their life skills.
