Youth Development
A Win-win For Kids And Professionals In Bethel
When Bethel鈥檚 4-H summer program was faced with a shortage of staff, AV狼论坛 4-H brought together eleven leading positive youth development professionals from across the United States to run summer programming and train staff in Bethel. Nearly 200 youth participated in programming that improved their sense of belonging and leadership through activities in art, culture, science and creativity.
Kids Develop Skills And Contribute To Local Food Availability
Each year, AV狼论坛 4-H youth raise livestock to sell at auctions held across the state. Youth engage potential buyers and follow up post-sale, raising thousands of dollars for youth projects and thousands of pounds of beef, pork, yak and lamb for local AV狼论坛 markets.
The Sweet Taste Of Science
Each spring, dozens of students, teachers and community members in Interior AV狼论坛 tap birch trees to collect the sweet sap, which can be boiled down to create birch syrup. OneTree AV狼论坛 has developed an integrative STEAM (STEM +Art) curriculum for Interior AV狼论坛 schools that promotes active learning through the process of tree tapping and sap processing.
