5. Situation • Saskatchewan 4-H has been mostly focused on rural communities since its beginnings • Not many people know what 4-H is let alone what it offers

6. Objectives • My goal is to increase the membership in the North East Region of Saskatchewan by 20% in the 2012-2013 year • I would like to get 1500 people to attend each 4-H Day • For the community meetings I plan to have around 200 people • In the first year of operation I would like to have 500 followers on Twitter • To do this I will need $22,000 for events, supplies, fuel, building rental, and presentations that I plan to do for this project

7. Audience • I would like to focus on the North East Region of Saskatchewan according to the 4-H Regions

8. Strategy • 4-H Days hosted in the Larger communities • Community Meetings • Visit every school that will allow a 4-H presentation • Get a Twitter account started • Encourage 4-H clubs to volunteer at events and share the 4-H secret with their friends • Key Message: “4-H is 4 Everyone!”

9. Tactics • 4-H Days: showcase the 4-H clubs, show the community what 4-H is • Community meetings: Presenter will come into the communities and let the parents and adults know what 4-H is, how they can get their child involved, how much it cost, etc. • School Visits: Same idea as the community meeting but will be for the kids in school • Twitter: Get 4-H across every social media possible • Encouragement: Send e-mail to General Leaders to get them to encourage their club members to get out there in the community
