Wayne County 4-H School Enrichment
What is 4-H School Enrichment?
Cooperation between schools and Nebraska Extension has existed for many years in Wayne County, complementing the educational goals of both organizations. The 4-H School Enrichment Program uses materials that are research-based and produced by specialists from the University of Nebraska—Lincoln, the National 4-H Council and various universities and organizations throughout the United States.
The purpose of a 4-H school enrichment program is to encourage long-term involvement in 4-H, enhance the relationship between 4-H and school systems (public and private), provide informal education to complement formal education, enhance the subject matter being studied, and foster and promote enthusiasm and support for participation in other 4-H programs.
