4-H Food & Fitness Regional Leadership Team

Title
4-H Food & Fitness Regional Leadership Team

The Northeast Iowa FFI 4-H Regional Leadership Team kicked off the year with their FFI 4-H Coaches and County Youth Coordinators on September 29 in Calmar. Eleven schools were represented and youth participated in an evaluation process to capture the impact of their work in schools and their communities.

At its foundation, 4-H has three, national mission mandates that also align with Food and Fitness.  Those mandates include:

  • Healthy Lifestyles
  • Citizenship and Leadership                
  • Science and Technology
The Regional Leadership Team meets four times during the school-year and is focused on work around these three mandates. Education and experiences from the Leadership Team meetings is encouraged to be taken back to FFI 4-H Youth Teams and School Wellness Teams. Building communication and leadership skills in this team of 36 youth is strengthening their level of participation in our region.
