June P. Mead, Dept. of Human Development, was selected by National 4-H Headquarters to serve on the Advisory Board for the National 4-H Learning Communities Project, focused on one of the 4-H National Learning Priorities: Program Evaluation. The goal of the National 4-H Learning Communities Project is to foster evaluation capacity building among 4-H youth development professionals and staff in four states: Ohio, Oregon, Vermont and Virginia. A report on the project’s findings is due this summer. The advisory board members also plan to present what they have learned about the use of learning circles in building evaluation capacity at the American Evaluation Association Conference 2009 in Orlando, Florida in November. The talk will be entitled: Building 4-H Evaluation Capacity Through Learning Communities: Tales From the National 4-H Evaluation Learning Communities Project.
