Broward County 4-H will be starting a Dog Club beginning in September 2017. We have identified an enthusiastic club leader, and we are looking for a co-leader who is at least 21 years old, will be willing to undergo the background screening process, attend all meetings and activities, and help the leader plan and carry out activities. Here is some more information about the club:
- The club will most likely be meeting on weekends or during the evening/afterschool times during the week (this will largely be dependent on what works best for the leader and co-leader) in the Davie/Fort Lauderdale area
- There will be at least one club meeting a month during the school year
- Community service will be a component of the club curriculum
- Youth are not required to own a dog. The club leader has a dog that would be available to attend meetings. Other dogs may also be welcome.
Dog Club Curriculum Levels:
Dog 1: Wiggles and Wags - Activities relate to body parts, selection, correcting behavior, house breaking a puppy, body language, controlling fleas, health care, grooming and how to train a dog to respond to seven basic commands. Grades 3-5.
Dog 2: Canine Connection - Youth explore dog web resources, breed origins, safety, locating a missing dog, socializing a dog, showmanship, tricks, health, feeding and controlling parasites. Grades 6-8. Dog 3: Leading the Pack - Experienced youth will learn how to plan and conduct a dog show, a showmanship clinic, a puppy training class and a skillathon as well as research zoonosis diseases, administer emergency first aid, explore dog laws and dog related careers. Grades 9-12.More opportunities with University of Florida IFAS Broward County 4-H

Mission Statement
The UF/IFAS Extension 4-H Youth Development Program uses a learn-by-doing approach to help youth gain the knowledge and skills they need to be responsible, productive citizens. This mission is accomplished by creating safe and inclusive learning environments, involving caring adults, and utilizing the expertise and resources of the University of Florida and the nationwide land grant university system.
Description
The Broward County 4-H Youth Development Program is a hands-on, practical education program that focuses on building life skills in the areas of healthy living, citizenship, leadership, and STEM (science, technology, math, and engineering) in young people ages 5 to 18. 4-H is open to all youth, ages 5 to 18, regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, creed, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity. In Broward County, the 4-H program offers hands-on education and fun projects in many different areas: marine ecology, photography, horticulture, food and nutrition, small and large animals, computers, and much more! These projects and experiences help members learn how to make decisions, develop life skills, and actively participate in the home and community. For parents, 4-H is a family activity that provides leadership and self-esteem training, which helps young people mature into successful and fulfilled adults. But most of all, BROWARD COUNTY 4-H IS FUN!
