Emotional safely, too, is emphasized, developed, and practiced each week, and members function under and use social skills and life skills lessons. The meeting location requires much thought. It is helpful if there is grassy area around for playing games and doing initiatives. Access to a telephone is very important. If the Club is to revolve around a plant science project, garden space needs to be close by.
Great care is taken to gently lead less forceful members into each stage of the project areas.
Extension staff have received training to work with all types of youth, including ones on heavy maintenance medications, and so facilitate the Club having a very diverse make up. The Club meetings are good places for members to stretch their wings. These members have already shown mastery in several areas. Much time is spent on 4-H tradition. Due to meeting each week, the depth and span of knowledge to be gained in any project area is significant.
