Framework and Evaluation

The 4-H Healthy Living mission engages youth and families through access and opportunities to achieve physical, social, emotional well-being.

Strategic Framework

Based on a review of current 4-H and youth healthy living research, the Healthy Living Strategic Framework outlines goals, objectives, strategies, tactics and indicators that Extension staff should consider when developing programming for youth and their families.

Logic Models

Designed to assess the impact of 4-H Healthy Living programming upon youth and their families, logic models have been developed to evaluate programs in terms of current needs, defined inputs, and expected outcomes.  These logic models have been tailored to six different areas of health: physical activity, nutrition, social-emotional well-being, unintentional accidents, safety and alcohol/tobacco/drugs. 

• Physical Activity  
• Unintentional Injury 
• Injury Prevention  
• Social and Emotional Development   
• Healthy Eating  
• Substance Abuse Prevention
