So, I thought about my Initiating Action project, and immediately I realized that I wanted to do something. I just didn't know what that something was. Fortunately, class on Wednesday helped tremendously with that. I realized that one of the major problems facing the 4-H club is that they are not extremely well known, and even when people have heard of them, they only think of it as agricultural. I propose that I m going to write screenplay for a commercial that would be on National Television to advertise the 4-H club as "Not just Cows and Corn any more."
People need to know that the 4-H has branched out, applying learning by doing to more than just agricultural activities. For instance, many local 4-H clubs now have after school and in school mentoring programs, which help teach kids how to approach academic problems and succeed in school. There are many
branches of the 4-H in extremely Urban areas, such as Los Angeles, where they provide a safe environment for kids to study and even get meals. If the 4-H advertised itself across the nation, and portrayed themselves as having advanced with the times, then parents who would not have known or considered sending their child to the 4-H would realize that there are benefits. Any way, that's what I think. A commercial. That's it for now.
