The LTCS summer program, held at the Alberta 4-H Centre, is the kick-off to the many summer programs offered by 4-H. During the program, senior members' leadership skills are optimized through hands-on training that will see them become counsellors for the programs that take place both at the regional and provincial level throughout the summer.
The theme for this year's LTCS program was Sharing the Beat. Delegates worked in harmony and teamwork through technical and personal skill sessions focused on behaviour management, first aid and conflict resolution. They also worked on trust building exercises, decision making and leadership skills and crisis management. The members then put their skills to use in planning activities for the program events.
"LTCS is a crucial rung on a 4-H member's ladder to success because they receive valuable training that helps to enhance their overall 4-H experience," explains Rita-Marie Leask. "In return, our organization benefits by developing leaders who can serve as mentors at camps and programs."
At the end of the program, delegates were assigned a summer camping program to counsel and are spending the remainder of the summer continuing their personal development while mentoring the future counsellors of the 4-H program.
Alberta 4-H is committed to seeing its members' communication and leadership skills, confidence and self awareness flourish and develop. It is the organization's hope that the skills imparted through 4-H programming will prove to set members up for numerous successes and achievements.
The LTCS program is sponsored by Penn West Energy Trust, Agrium, the Government of Alberta, Monsanto, and Olds College, as well as supported by the Alberta Wheat Board and the 4-H Foundation of Alberta.
