Explore how rural youth programs were shaped in the 1930s—and how communities organized young people for education, leadership, and service.

This nonfiction work compiles the 1936 annual narrative reports from state and county extension workers. It surveys the needs of older rural youths and explores how clubs, schools, and community groups were developed to reach those ages 16 to 25. The book highlights practical planning, field-tested activities, and cross-state findings that informed future programs.

Learn how extension agents and local communities built age-appropriate programs for older youth, including club work, short courses, and community organizations.
See examples of surveys, program planning, and leadership training used to engage rural young people in meaningful activities.
Discover approaches to organizing county-wide or small, localized groups to fit local needs and resources.
Understand the challenges and opportunities faced by rural youth as they transition toward adulthood and independent work.

Ideal for readers of rural history, extension education, and the evolution of youth programs in America.
