Searching for "Ricochet"

This poster series of three 17" x 22" posters is intended to be used in facilitating "Ricochet: An Extreme Leadership Adventure."

Ricochet: An Extreme Leadership Adventure is a middle school leadership initiative created and sponsored by Iowa State University Extension and Outreach and Iowa 4-H. To Ricochet means to move around with a lot of energy, and be unpredictable - sort of like middle school youth. They bounce from one thing to the next trying on different roles as they find their place in the world. Something else you can't predict: when opportunities for youth leadership will arise, but you can help prepare youth to become leaders. Help them be ready to accept the leadership opportunities that come their way. Ricochet uses adventure and experience to bring about learning. Kids will learn by doing things themselves. You can help them build their leadership skills, as they get involved in a REAL project that their community needs.

Youth-serving organizations in Iowa are encouraged to contact their local Iowa State University Extension and Outreach county office to explore partnership opportunities in administering this program. Additional information on this program is available on the Ricochet webpage, or you may contact the program team with your questions by emailing ricochet@iastate.edu

These posters are a companion piece to facilitating the Ricochet program. The curriculum for Ricochet is also available on the Extension Store and can be found here.
