Abstract

Nationally, 4-H programs develop educational strategies and provide opportunities for youth and adults to work in partnership as they develop life skills. This reported study looks at some curricula that enhance self-esteem in at-risk youth ages 8 to 15. The Coopersmith Self-Esteem Instrument (CSI) measures changes in participants’ self-esteem while the Massachusetts Youth Screening Instrument (MAYSl), used only at the onset of the study, alerted the staff of potential mental/emotional distress and other behavior that might require an immediate response. Girls showed a higher increase in self-esteem over the boys in the reported study.
