Behnke, Andrew O.; Urieta, Diana M.; Duan, Siyu; Lewis, Zach
Journal of Extension, v58 n2 Article v58-2rb8 Apr 2020
Preprogram and postprogram surveys of 241 Latinx 4-H youths from five counties in North Carolina provided a snapshot of their experiences in the Juntos 4-H program. The study findings demonstrate that Juntos 4-H has positive impacts on academics, college readiness, parent engagement, and community engagement. Suggestions are made to help Extension professionals elsewhere develop effective programs for Latinx youths.
