What is Each One, Reach One?
"Each One, Reach One" is simple... if every current 4-H member recruited and enrolled one new member in their local club, Oklahoma's 4-H enrollment doubles.
The program was started by State 4-H President, Natalie James in 1988. One goal of the 2006-07 State 4-H Officer team is to revive the “Each One, Reach One” project. We want to not only increase enrollment, but the retention and participation of new 4-H members.
Participation
To participate in “Each One, Reach One,” an enrolled 4-H member recruits one “new” member into their local club and mentors that person during their first year of enrollment. Mentor means you will help the individual and their family to understand 4-H, encourage their attendance and participation at club meetings, activities and 4-H events. During their first year of enrollment you will also provide the new member with the leadership and guidance necessary to plan and carry out project work in one 4-H project area.
Our goal is “Quality vs. Quantity.” We want you to make an investment in the individual so the new member becomes as passionate about 4-H as you are! It is important to understand that participation, cooperation and self-determined goals are just as important as participation in peer competition in the retention of new members during the first year.
Individuals and Clubs who participate in this program will be recognized at the county, district and state levels.
