| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of community engagement, youth leadership development, and personal characteristics on a 4-Her’s sense of community. The population for this study were youth enrolled in the Texas 4-H Youth Development program for the 2015-2016 academic year. Data were collected using an online questionnaire. Analysis of the data was conducted using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 23. The results of the regression model determined that the leadership life skill construct of contributor to the community and grade level were significant predictors of sense of community. Based on demographics of the data collected and analyzed, it is recommended that extension educators in Texas should consider recruiting at-risk and minority youth to participate in the program. | en |
