Abstract
This article identifies 4-H program topics of most interest to junior high and high school students. One hundred fourteen students in Ouachita Parish, Louisiana, completed a 4-H needs assessment survey. Topics of highest interest among 4-H members and non-members were: coping with unemployment, fashion, dating, computers, and after high school. Members also ranked: teen pregnancy, suicide, and drugs as programs of highest interest. Non-members ranked: fitness, jobs, and health as priority areas. Results from this study have major implications for programming decisions regarding senior 4-H'ers.
