America presently faces a significant challenge - young people are not prepared with the necessary Science, Engineering and Technology workforce skills to compete in the 21st century (Rising Above the Gathering Storm, 2006). 4-H is working towards a solution. With its direct connection to the Extension System's cutting-edge research and resources of the nation's 106 land-grant universities and colleges, 4-H provides youth with hands-on learning experiences that foster exploration, discovery and passion for the sciences. Currently, 4-H SET projects reach more than 5.9 million youth* in urban, suburban and rural communities across America. In order to address our nation's challenge, 4-H is committed to involving 1 million new young people in SET projects over the next five years (read more). |
