Brave Hearts, Bright Minds - Courageous Collaboration
Presenter: Roubie Younkin
Courtland - 11/30/2025 3:00 PM
Ricochet! An Extreme Leadership Adventure is an adventure-based experiential learning approach of teaching five dimensions of leadership. It also asserts that all youth have the potential of becoming a leader. Designed for use with middle school youth in a variety of settings, Ricochet’s research-based curriculum follows Van Linden and Fertman’s (1998) assertion that adolescents go through three stages of leadership development – awareness, interaction, and mastery. The proposed Congress workshop will focus on Level 1 – Awareness. Through this hands-on demonstration, Congress participants will learn more about self, engage in leadership opportunities as a group, and describe good teams and good leaders through activities such as ‘Ants on a Log’ or ‘Helium Stick.’ The goal of the workshop is for teen Congress participants to learn how they can implement Ricochet in a youth teaching youth environment in their community. The workshop will emphasize how to debrief the activities to bring out the dimensions of leadership, so that is more than just fun activities. Congress participants will learn that Ricochet includes resources to review the content of completed lessons before moving to the next. A final aspect of Ricochet is the incorporation of community and service-learning. Ricochet has been effectively used in Iowa and Texas counties for ten years plus. We feel it is a resource that can be implemented nationwide and look forward to sharing it with teen leaders at National 4-H Congress.
