Explore how extension services shaped rural youth programs in 1935.

This overview of the work captured in Organizations and Programs for Rural Young People reveals how states defined and reached young people on farms. It highlights the aims, structures, and activities that guided youth groups across the country during the 1935 year.

In these reports, you’ll see a mix of strategies: committees coordinating statewide efforts, county and community clubs, and multi-age groups that included both young men and women. The material shows how programs were shaped by local needs and available leadership, with an emphasis on practical learning, democratic participation, and community service. It also notes the role of schools, colleges, and extension staff in supporting youth activities and education.
