What are 4-H School Enrichment Programs?
School enrichment 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!
The 4-H school enrichment program is a great way to connect and collaborate with your local Extension office and achieve your classroom educational goals. Don't see a program that fits your topic of interest? We are continually adding new offerings, and will work with you to build a custom program to meet your educational goals!
The cost to your classroom is minimal. If interested, please view the catalog and send us an email at cass-county@unl.edu. We look forward to working with you and your students!
