This article focuses on how 4-H youth participants are building social capital, or connections among individuals and community members, through their 4-H experiences. These experiences can be seen through the lens of such 4-H delivery modes as the traditional 4-H club, after-school programs, and school enrichment programs. In addition, other experiences such as leadership camps and conferences or activities in the local community afford youth the opportunity to build the relationships, trust, and respect reflective of social capital. Examples are derived from 4-H program participants-urban, suburban and rural youth-in Camden County, New Jersey.
本文聚焦于4-H青年参与者如何通过他们的4-H经历来构建社会资本，即个人与社区成员之间的联系。这些经历可以从传统4-H俱乐部、课后项目和学校拓展项目等4-H实施模式的角度来看待。此外，其他经历，如领导力训练营、会议或当地社区的活动，也为青年提供了建立体现社会资本的人际关系、信任和尊重的机会。例子来源于新泽西州卡姆登县的4-H项目参与者——城市、郊区和农村青年。
