    • If mailing a check, please make sure they follow the instructions and include a list of participants. We know sometimes a 4-H Committee/Club etc. will pay for multiple people and so we need to be able to track who has paid.

    • If no one from your office is set up as a county manager for the online modules, contact Jeff Dick for assistance in setting up your account. You will be able to see your county, who has registered, progress made, etc.
    • Attached are instructions for how to access the modules which can be found at: 4-hshootingsportscollege.com
      • There currently is funding from ODNR to cover the cost of these modules. Instructors can use this code: OSUVYQSFQUM2
        • Please do not post the code on a website, but share with individual instructors directly.
  • Junior Leaders (teens who have previously completed the discipline in the county) are eligible to attend. They will need to ensure that they complete the JL application in addition to the workshop application. The JL application can be found on the state website link above. It is a paper form that is mailed to Jeff Dick and requires a 4-H professional signature at the bottom. JLs are expected to have a mentor in the discipline attend with them and an adult of the same gender who is staying in the cabin with them as a mentor also. These do not have to be the same person or from the same county. If this is the JL’s first time attending a workshop, two letters of reference are also required.
  • After registration closes, we will confirm the list of attendees with county 4-H professionals to ensure that they are approved, screened volunteers.

2020 Buckeye Leadership Workshop

| rees.139

The Buckeye Leadership Workshop for 2020 will be held March 25-29.  Since 1944, the Buckeye Leadership Workshop (BLW) has helped youth and adults develop leadership skills. BLW is a learning and sharing workshop/conference intended as a balanced program of social, physical, mental, and spiritual activities. The workshop also benefits those who simply enjoy associating with great people, experiencing new ideas, and learning new skills.

The mission “enriching life through recreation” has been the stated purpose of the Buckeye Leadership Workshop for more than two decades. From its earliest days, participatory learning has been the focus. Workshoppers, trustees, and instructors leave titles at the door and participate in the workshop in an atmosphere of equality.

Our objectives are:

  1. To educate leaders in the field of organized recreation for community service.

  2. To act as a refresher course for leaders already working in the field of organized recreation.

  3. To share ideas and experiences in media of creative expression.

  4. To develop knowledge and skills in the teaching of recreation, social, and leisure life skills.

  5. To show that true happiness can be achieved through non-commercialized recreation through the spontaneity of the family or small group.

  6. To provide recreation and relaxation for the leaders themselves.

To learn more about the sessions offered please refer to: https://buckeyeleadership.com/2020-sessions
Registration for BLW 2020 is now open! All registrations must be completed online and a $100 deposit is required to hold your spot at the workshop. The balance of your workshop fees ($350 total before February 20, $375 after) are due one month in advance of the workshop (February 25, 2020).  Scholarships are available if interested.  To register please follow: https://www.ultracamp.com/info/sessiondetail.aspx?campCode=eir&idCamp=715&idSession=228912
