Revised by Karen Henry, Claire Davis, Melinda Souers, Paula Davis, Heather Kent, and Candi Dierenfield
This is one publication in the Florida 4-H Volunteer Training Series, which prepares 4-H volunteers to apply positive youth development best practices. “Learn by doing” is a common phrase used by staff and volunteers to explain how 4-H youth development teaches life skills. Experiential Learning has been proven to be an effective way to engage youth in the learning process. This publication provides volunteers with tools to help them apply the experiential learning model and outlines the steps volunteers can take to ensure that youth are able to apply what they have learned to new situations.
