Calling young explorers! Join 4-H Explorers: Ag Around the World for a virtual adventure through Costa Rica, Ghana, and the Netherlands. Dive into exciting Google site activities, with optional check-ins and guest speakers. Program runs Feb. 19 - Mar 11, perfect for 6th-8th graders. Ready to sow seeds of knowledge? Limited spots available!

Youth in grades 6-8 are invited to join University of Minnesota Youth Development as we explore agriculture around the world. You aren't going to want to miss this agriculture exploration as we travel virtually to three countries in this self-guided program with opportunities to connect with people in other countries. A kick-off event will be held via Zoom on Monday, Feb. 19 at 7:30 p.m. (Central time)  From there, you’ll be given access to a Google site to explore a country each week. A guide will be provided to help you explore a farming practice within each country. 4-H Ag Ambassadors will check in weekly to discuss what you’re learning along the way. This year guest speakers will share more about agriculture in the countries participants are exploring. More info will be sent out upon registration. All guest speakers will be recorded for later viewing.

Registration deadline: Feb. 12.
