Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Project will leverage strengths of the 1890 Land Grant Universities (LGU) system to prepare youth of color in middle and high school with leadership skills necessary for agricultural-related careers. The major outcome will be an enhanced system of outreach for 4-H Positive Youth Development (PYD) programs that reach vulnerable and underserved youth.
AFRI priority areas addressed include: Agriculture Systems and Technology; and Agriculture Economics and Rural Communities. USDA priorities addressed include advancing racial justice, equity, and opportunity; and promoting workforce development.
Anticipated project audience includes youth of color (African American, Hispanic and Native American) from 1890, 1862, and 1994 LGU programs. Objectives are to: (1) increase minority youth participation in mentoring, college/career preparation programs, and the national 4-H program; (2) train 4-H faculty and staff on PYD and diversity, equity and inclusion concepts essential to developing and mentoring youth from underserved communities; and (3) develop a national model for college/career preparation in underserved communities of color.
The project has five components: Youth Voice; Mentoring; Leadership Institutes and Internships; 4-H STEM Engagement; and Professional Development. Over five years, the project will reach 3,485 middle-school and high-school minority youth (African American: Hispanic; Native American) served by 1890, 1862, and 1994 LGU programs. 2,140 adults will be recruited as mentors and estimated 1500 will participate in professional development programs.
Activities include the five components and support for minority youth to participate in national 4-H programs; conduct, translate and disseminate findings from program evaluation and research; and develop and disseminate culturally relevant professional development.
