About this PYD Academy Immersion
Are you ready to engage your volunteers in the 4-H Thriving Model? This session is for you! The goal of this virtual PYD Immersion is to provide professionals with the tools they need to support and empower volunteers to implement the 4-H Thriving Model in programming. This virtual 6-hour session will include 12 Lightening Talks with guest speakers from around the country, who will share ideas of how they recruit volunteers, invite volunteers into 4-H, orient volunteers to the Thriving Model, train volunteers to utilize activities aligned with the Thriving Model, understand the Danish Merit system and how it connects to the Thriving Model, recognize volunteers using the model, and more! Plus, participants will get a sneak peek at a new program quality resource for volunteers.
