Over the last decade, the Oregon 4-H Youth Development Program has made special efforts to reach and engage Latino youth and families in non-formal educational programs. Latino families most often do not access community-based educational programs because they don't know about them and/or they do not feel welcomed. This report was prepared to help educators better understand the nuances of Latino culture that impact the participation of youth and to learn how to design and implement culturally responsive programming that will attract Latino youth. The report provides a synthesis of the knowledge gained over ten years of experience through the Oregon 4-H Latin Outreach Project. Topics addressed include ways to build relationships and establish trust with Latino communities, issues involved in the selection of outreach staff, critical elements of culturally responsive programming, evaluating outreach programs, and recruiting and supporting Latino adult volunteers.  #2 It's a Small World: 4-H Project Box Contents (pdf file)  University of Wisconsin  4-H Individual Project Curriculum, 4-H Curriculum for Groups, 4-H Resources  Subject: Cultural Education Description This list contains the lesson plans and materials to complete the four activities in the "It's a Small World" 4-H Afterschool International series.
