Oklahoma 4-H Plan of Work
2015-2019

Why a Timeline?
• The timeline is designed to help you track
programming participation (demographics).
• Items that don’t really fit into these areas
don’t need to be included in your timeline
with the exception of in-service trainings you
will enroll in.
• Be specific on the topics you plan to teach for
volunteer training.

Note……
Your program may fit equally well under another
Team!
And example might be GPS/GIS….are you using
this in an agricultural or natural resources
program? Are you using in a leadership training
or community service activity? Are you teaching
the science of GIS/GPS? Or maybe even in a
camp setting to mark locations of water
sources!
Remember……
The above are meant to serve as examples!
The main goal is to showcase the great
programs we are offering in 4-H and how they
lead to positive youth development!
Final thought….
It is EXTREMELY important you work closely with
your respective District Directors and District
Program Specialists during this process.
