4-H Youth and Development
Our 4-H program provides a creative a supportive environment in which culturally diverse youth and adults can reach their full potential. Our local county program works to develop life skills to help young people become self-directed, productive citizens. We also work to empower adult volunteers who multiply the efforts of our local county Extension staff.
Volunteers
There were over 250 volunteers and over 600 members involved in the San Juan County 4-H program in 2005. Trained and qualified volunteers are needed to help implement the 4-H program in San Juan County.
Growth in San Juan County
San Juan County is experiencing a substantial growth increase. With this comes the increase of youth that fall within 4-H ages of 6-19. San Juan County, as in most places, has a high negative visibility for these young people. In order to prepare all are youth to become knowledgeable, productive citizens; they must possess basic life skills. 4-H in San Juan County is challenged to help youth gain knowledge in personal development, animal science, plant science, and natural science.
Expanded 4-H Program
Young people today need workplace competencies and foundation skills to be successful in the workforce. A program designed to help youth gain these competencies is the summer Youth Employment Training Program (SYETP) administered through the San Juan County Extension Service for the New Mexico Department of Labor.

SAN JUAN COUNTY FAIR
San Juan County has one of the largest county fairs in the state. With a membership of over 650 kids. The county fair provides kids a chance to show what they have learned with their completed projects. Ranging from baking, electricity, and woodworking to training dogs and horses as well as raising and showing other livestock animals such as beef, swine, goat, rabbits and poultry. These projects teach the kids not only about their individual project but responsibility for finishing what they start and with animals, taking care of their needs on a daily basis. This years fair dates are August 10-19, 2007 to be held at McGee Park, Farmington NM. This years theme is "Anchors Away". Please come join us for a great family outing.
