its mission to help young people learn and grow through an intentional process that builds

2. Describe the proposed project or activity.
The New 4-H Campaign Tradeshow Display
Four-H is generally known for its historical and traditional agricultural education (livestock,
horse, etc.). However, the urban/rural demographic landscape in Deschutes County is changing.
Fannilies are looking to engage their children in contemporary positive experiences that fit their
more urban lifestyles.
The lack of knowledge about the breadth and depth of the 4-H programs available to youth and
families keeps young people from realizing the full potential of 4-H.
The New 4-H Campaign Tradeshow Display, as a marketing strategy, is intended to inform
Deschutes County residents about other areas of the program (science, engineering and
technology; natural resources, expressive arts, family consumer science, teen leadership,
organizational governance, etc.) that address the urban lifestyle.
The DC4HLA proposes to purchase a professionally constructed tradeshow display, as an
integral component of a much larger New 4-I4 Campaign, for use at public and private venues
(High Desert Men's' Summit, Oregon Pet Expo, larkspur Festival, High Desert Museum
Teacher's Night, etc.

4. Explain how the proposed project or activity will impact the community's economic health.
The literary evidence supports the notion that youth engaged Long-term, with caring adults,
through meaningful activities, increase their levels of the five C's. Furthermore, research is
showing that increased levels of the five C's lead to a Sixth C known as contribution.
As contribution develops in 4-H youth the communities in Deschutes County can expect positive
impacts through healthier family and social relationships and economic sclf-sufficiencv.
5. identify the specific comznunities or groups that will benefit.
4-H membership represents the broad rural and urban communities of La Pine, Bend, Redmond,
Terrcboone, and Sisters. Not only do the 4-H'ers interact with youth in the 4-H program, they
immerse themselves in their communities and interact with other youth, peers, adults, and the
business sector.
6. Itemize anticipated expenditures. Describe how grant funds will be used and include the
source and amounts of matching funds or in-kind contributions, if any. If the grant will
