Challenge
Develop a collaborative community for 4-H adult and youth leaders to share resources and ideas to build positive youth development.
Approach
Zoetica consulted with 4-H to choose and guide an outside tech company to build a password protected online community for 4-H professionals, volunteers, and youth leaders. Additionally, we developed a complete communication and outreach plan to launch the site to the 4-H community.
Solution
- Technology Consulting: Ensured that community features were robust enough to be embraced by the community and to be relevant for changes in technology. Helped to choose and guide technology partner.
- Community Building: Developed several pilot, or beta, communities within the platform to show how it can be used as a resource.
- Research: Worked directly with programs, including launch of quantitative survey research, to determine what users wanted from an online community.
