Its primary goal is to develop the capacity of Extension Professionals to engage in leadership to create more diverse, equitable, inclusive and just Extension programs and community change initiatives. This manuscript describes the program and an initial evaluation and results. Findings Results of an evaluation of the first year of the program indicate that regular training sessions and support are appropriate for leadership development and that Extension Professionals are using the learning, awareness and tools from this program to address challenges with Adaptive and Transformative Leadership elements. Also, Extension professionals demonstrated commitment to personal growth, community engagement and understanding of their multifaceted roles as change agents. Originality/value Participants are sharing resources from the program with colleagues, leading meetings differently, questioning the status quo and pushing others to try new ways forward.}, journal={Journal of Leadership Education}, author={Aniche, Abasiama-Arit and Bundy, Hannah and McKee, Katherine E.}, year={2024}, month={Apr} }

Design/methodology/approach Through survey research and qualitative data analysis, three prominent themes emerged. Findings High-quality, purposeful pedagogy created opportunities for students to learn. Second, a supportive, interactive community engaged students with the instructor, each other and the course material to support participation in learning. As a result, students reported experiencing big shifts, new growth and increased confidence during their leadership courses. Originality/value We discuss our findings and offer specific recommendations for leadership educators to better support BIPOC students in their leadership courses and classrooms and for further research with BIPOC students.}, journal={Journal of Leadership Education}, author={McKee, Katherine E. and Traini, Haley and Smist, Jennifer and Rosch, David Michael}, year={2024}, month={Apr} }

Identifying and training staff on critical competencies are essential to achieving the desired outcomes for camp participants. The purpose of this study was to determine the most critical competencies of the 4-H residential camp staff for achieving high staff performance. The modified Delphi technique was used to achieve study objectives. The Delphi panel of this study consisted of 23 4-H camping experts from across the United States. This three-round Delphi study led to identify 15 critical competencies that will be useful in standardizing 4-H camp staff training programs.}, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF EXTENSION}, author={Jeuck, Laura S. and Jayaratne, K.

To address this absence, we developed a critical positive youth development (CPYD) framework. Bridging positive youth development (PYD) with critical theory, CPYD positions critical consciousness—consisting of critical reflection, political efficacy, and critical action—as the 7th C of PYD and as integral to both the learning process and healthy socioemotional development. This paper introduces the CPYD framework and examines implications and applications for practitioners, including exploring the role of storytelling as an effective method through which to apply CPYD and highlighting one specific example. }, number={6}, journal={JOURNAL OF YOUTH DEVELOPMENT}, author={Gonzalez, Maru and Kokozos, Michael and Byrd, Christy M. and McKee, Katherine E.}, year={2020}, pages={24–43} }
