After this initial training, teens will meet regularly with adult advisors to map out plans for additional ongoing learning activities, like mentoring in 4-H Clubs, hosting a club Parliamentary Procedure Contest, Theater Arts and Storytelling, Radio and Cable TV programming, and more. All works are judged on the Danish system, with Best of Show and Public Choice Awards in certain categories.
