School Enrichment
Did you know . . .
- that 4-H is the official youth organization of USDA?
- that 4-H is the largest youth organization in the country?
- that many Beaver County schools have been participating in a 4-H school enrichment program for decades?
Take a look at the 4-H school programs below - we're sure you'll find at least one that can be used to enhance your school or home-school's curriculum or youth program! Share the information with appropriate teachers, counselors, home educators, and home and school associations, as all materials easily adapt to most situations. If you would like to examine the actual project materials further, please contact Cindie Searight, 724-774-3003 or css11@psu.edu.
Many 4-H projects support Pennsylvania and National Academic Standards in science, environmental education, health, safety and physical education, and family and consumer sciences. With many listings of our 4-H program, we've indicated which standards our projects support.
Training is available if you need it, by appointment in selected program areas. At that time you will learn how to present the material and pick up your supplies. Student enrollment sheets must be handed in and any fees paid prior to receiving your supplies. If you have taken a project before or do not need training, we will arrange for you to get your supplies upon completion of the enrollment forms and payment of fees.
Many teachers have asked us why the enrollment form is required. Your enrollment form provides the documentation that USDA requires of all 4-H programs, in order to ensure that we are making all reasonable efforts to reach out to all youth in the county. Also, the enrollment forms provide us with the documentation needed to assure us of continued funding. This is how we are able to make 4-H programs available to you for a small materials fee per classroom.
We are looking forward to working with you to enhance your curriculum! Have a terrific year!
