Cornell Cooperative Extension Association of
Jefferson County’s 4-H Youth Development Program is recruiting 4-H Healthy Teen
Ambassadors.
This is open to
all youth ages 14-17 in Jefferson County. There are no costs to participate, but space is limited. The deadline to register is Feb. 29.
The 4-H
Healthy Teen Ambassadors will attend a training March 18 to 20 at the
Amboy Center in Oswego County as part of a regional training with teens from
across the state.
Teens will be trained
in the 4-H Choose Health: Food, Fun and
Fitness curriculum developed by Cornell University, Kids in the Kitchen
curriculum developed by University of Missouri and the Up for the Challenge
curriculum developed by the Department of Defense.
Each curriculum is different, but they all
offer research-based education on the benefits of nutrition and physical
activity. Teens will be trained to
deliver the healthy living curricula to youth in elementary after school
programs, day camps, county fairs and other events.
For
additional information, on 4-H or the 4-H Healthy Living Teen Ambassador
opportunity contact Cathy Chrisman at 788-8450 or go to www.ccejefferson.org
