Just Grow It - A gardening project to connect kids to good eats!
Do you already garden with youth in your county? Or are you interested in getting started? We have pulled together a 9-topic gardening program that you can deliver in your community virtually or in-person. AND it comes with some funding to purchase supplies to get this program going (we have at least $125, maybe more depending on counties participating). Questions? Call or email April Bowman or Liz Driscoll.

Spring is in the air and so are our very favorite pollinators! The Grow Box is a "subscription box" program that delivers garden fun for families right to their door. It is a partnership between North Carolina 4-H and the JC Raulston Arboretum and is intended to grow and nurture the agricultural curiosity of our current and new 4-H families. The box comes with all the supplies and instructions you need to learn about pollinators.
- Enjoy planting a pollinator garden, discover the different pollinators in your backyard, raise butterfly larva, make chapstick and much more!

Horticultural Science Summer Institute
June 21-24, 2021
Do you love plants? Are you in high school? Join NC State’s Department of Horticultural Science for an exploration of horticulture through a virtual program that includes hands-on live workshops, do-it-yourself activities, videos and more. We will dig into topics like plant propagation, plant identification, garden design, growing fruits and vegetables and much more. This year’s program is virtual, but will include a box full of the supplies you need to really engage in learning about horticulture.
Each day there will be a live zoom session (that will also be recorded) focused on a favorite horticultural topic. Youth will also have the opportunity to delve into asynchronous material to further fuel their passion for plants. Youth will be able to access the material all summer long.

The mission of the NC 4-H Ambassador program is to empower teen 4-H leaders with the knowledge, skills, and aspirations necessary to be effective advocates for NC 4-H Youth Development. We strengthen and expand upon 4-H Ambassadors' current leadership abilities so they may serve as positive role models for younger youth; build meaningful partnerships with other teens, adult volunteers, and 4-H professionals; and promote the 4-h mission in North Carolina. Our vision is that every NC teen 4-h member will have the personal initiative, program resources, and leadership opportunities to be a positive role model and a vocal advocate for the 4-H program in our state.
