School Educational Programs

What are School Education Programs?

These programs are learning experiences offered to students during school hours by local 4-H educators. These programs are designed to enhance the subject matter being studied in the classroom, provide hands-on education, introduce a new topic to students, or spark a new interest!

School Education Programs are a great way to connect and collaborate with your local Extension office and achieve your classroom’s educational goals. Our current programs focus on Career Development, STEM, Healthy Lifestyles, Personal Development and Agricultural Literacy and Environment.

If you do not see what you need, we would love to meet with you to discuss your classroom’s educational goals. We look forward to working with you and your students!

NOTE: Teachers or staff members must remain in the classroom with students during all programming.
