The US Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture has awarded Oregon State University's Extension Service a $10 million, five-year grant to promote positive youth development in agriculture, both regionally and nationally, the Oregonian reports.
The goal of the Youth Innovators Empowering Agriculture Across America Coordination Network is to "cultivate the next generation of research, education, and Extension professionals in food and agricultural sciences," according to a press release from OSU.
"For example, we are a national leader in positive youth development," says Kristopher Elliott, associate director of OSU Extension.
"The 4-H Model for Positive Youth Development, developed by our faculty, is used widely across the country and is a likely component of projects in the Youth Innovators Empowering Agriculture Across America program."
In addition to integrating racial justice, equity, and opportunity frameworks in programs, training, and evaluation, OSU Extension will lead the development of youth climate change curriculum with an emphasis in "climate smart" agriculture and forestry. Read the Entire Article
