Realize the possibilities that after-school programming can offer to the youth in your county and state
4-H program. New or experienced…with three tracks: Funding, Collaboration/Partnerships, and Effective Programs & Curricula, the participant will find that there is plenty of information to help expand their 4-H program. Saturday will include a keynote speaker, concurrent workshops, poster session and Sunday will include a breakfast speaker and concurrent workshops.

Funding – Funding opportunities that support the initiation and sustainability of after-school efforts – including collaborative youth development programs, after-school staff training, the introduction and utilization of 4-H curricula, and the formation of 4-H clubs in after-school programs.

Collaboration/Partnerships – Opportunities for collaboration and partnering with after-school providers and organizations - including schools, parks and recreation, other youth serving organizations (Boys and Girls Club, YMCA/YWCA, etc.), and state or local after-school networks. Effective methods for developing and sustaining these collaborations and partnerships with a focus on showcasing successful local efforts.

Effective Programs and Curricula – Proven programs and curricula for after-school and summer learning environments – as related to our mission mandates of science, engineering, and technology (SET); healthy living; and citizenship. A special interest in programs and curricula that address the uniqueness of program delivery in an after-school environment; those that include teens and others as volunteers; and those that provide high quality training to after-school staff.

Meal Information: Please eat before coming on Saturday. A mid-day, Natural Body and Mind themed snack will be provided with fresh fruit skewers, dried fruits, fruit bars and smoothies. A full breakfast buffet will be served Sunday.
