21. Organization: The CA 4-H organization is complex and has multiple areas which have become unintentionally siloed. If the organization is able to reorganize to best meet the growing and changing needs of the members, volunteers, families and supporters the organization may be in a better position to help 4-H grow for the next 100+ years. Funding: Continue to build a stronger case for support; reduce costs for youth participation; and increase resources. 4-H Public Relations: 4-H is more than agriculture, it’s more than cows and cooking. There is a desire to increase awareness, visibility, outreach and participation in the program. Development of a 4-H PR plan and associated marketing materials is needed. Engagement: Build and improve relationships with members, potential members and volunteers, and external advocates; increase knowledge of programs/opportunities; recruit and retain more members and volunteers; and increase diversity of youth and volunteer participants. Communication: Increase communication across the 4-H organization, share opportunities across sections, and improve the flow of information. The Top 5 Areas of Discussion by Level of Interest:
