The club meets monthly at the Youth Center and the 4-H Foods curriculum is being used. The Food Guide Pyramid is being studied, as well as food safety guidelines. Ten youth were also involved in the summer camp program at the Arkansas 4-H Center. The program is just getting started. Programs are coordinated and better serve all ages of children.
Publicity regarding the programs is handled more efficiently.
The Extension agent is housed on the base and meets weekly with the Pulaski county Extension agents for staff conference. Her work is noted throughout the Arkansas Extension system. The positive publicity generated about the 4-H program at the Little Rock Air Force Base also promotes good relations with the population surrounding the Air Force Base, which is an advantage to everyone. Five volunteers from the base are being trained to work with the youth. It is expected that these volunteers will be strong voices for Extension programs not only at the Little Rock Air Force Base, but in the larger community of Jacksonville and Pulaski county.
