Welcome to the "Using Blue Ribbon Youth Enrollment" training video page. 

Martech's Blue Ribbon Youth Enrollment is a program to help you manage the Member/Leader database for your 4-H program.  The videos on this website have been taken from the "Using Blue Ribbon Youth Enrollment" series of CDs.  Topics areas are listed below, and the links will take you to the video trainings.  The videos themselves are Macromedia Flash versions of the original videos, scaled down to a smaller size (480 x 360 pixels) to fit the screen.  After selecting a topic area, use the scrollbar to browse through the topic headings contained in the left frame of the screen.  To view a specific video, simply click the link. 

After each lesson, you will be redirected to the on-line evaluation page for this site.  Please take the time to fill out an evaluation each time you view a clip; your comments will help us in designing future sites.

If you would like versions of these lessons for viewing off-line you can order the "Using Blue Ribbon Youth Enrollment" CDs, which include full-screen (800 x 600 pixels) versions of these videos.  Contact the help desk at CoopExt Help_Desk@Colostate.edu, and please state in the email which CDs you'd like to order, and your mailing address.  The CDs are free, but we do require that you fill out an evaluation form after viewing the materials.

Finally, if you have any questions, comments or suggestions for this website, please contact the helpd at CoopExt Help_Desk@Colostate.edu.
