Nebraska 4-H Youth Development Program Priority

Environmental Education

Nebraska 4-H teaches an appreciation, understanding, and awareness of the natural world by providing opportunities for youth to study and interact with that world. Separating youth from their everyday setting, 4-H gives young people an opportunity to express new aspects of their personalities, achieve increased self-esteem, and gain a new perspective on how to relate to their peers. Students engage in cooperative learning and character development naturally by participating in environmental education programs and experiences that can be directly applied to life.

Through these programs, youth practice critical life skills, including
