What outcomes can I expect with a quality Youth-Adult Partnership?

This session highlights the positive outcomes that result from youth-adult partnership.  Most certainly, the research shows that young people benefit.  But, it is not just young people, the adult partners also benefit in terms of gaining new skills and confidence in working with young people.  Partnerships are energizing.  And, finally, 4-H as an organization benefits.  People see that 4-H is a leader in the community, one that is helping develop the newest generation of leaders.
