Jerry Newman has worked in the 4-H Youth Development Program for 46 years, starting his career in California. He joined the Washington State 4-H Program in 1979 as Extension 4-H Youth Development Specialist. He quickly became involved with revising and creating valuable 4-H Project publications, many of which are still in use today.
Jerry has been deeply involved in many project areas including equine; production livestock programs such as beef, sheep and swine; animal quality assurance; and small animal projects such as dogs, cats, cavies, and rabbits. If it is an animal science project, Jerry has provided leadership. Jerry has been a national leader in building “science” into all of our 4-H program areas. He was one of the innovators of the Ridges to Rivers curriculum; he created the “Get a Jump on Germs” curriculum, and co-authored the EM*Power curriculum that was adopted nationwide. Jerry has also been responsible for many State 4-H contests such as Shooting Sports, Horse Bowl, Hippology, Horse Judging and Forestry Stewardship.
Throughout his 4-H career Jerry has received numerous recognitions and awards, including the National Association of Extension 4-H Agents Distinguished Service and 25 Year Service awards, Governor’s Council for Environmental Education, and Solano County California Board of Supervisors outstanding Service Award.
The quality of the 4-H program directly affects the youth and volunteers involved and Jerry has been instrumental in improving the quality of the Washington State 4-H Program for many years.
