The 4-H program wrapped up its six week summer outreach programs this week. Over the six week program, children engaged in activities ranging from nutrition education to public speaking and introduction to various sports such as baseball and flag football. The program had over 50 children and teens from Windsor and Santa Rosa participate.

Our success is also attributed to the partnership between 4-H and the Social Advocates for Youth who placed teens as mentors for the summer programs. Through partnerships and community involvement the 4-H program will be opening three more new 4-H Afterschool Clubs in August catering to the needs of youth in Sonoma County.

The unprecedented growth of the 4-H Outreach programs has already been noted by the National 4-H Council who will come to visit Sonoma County's Afterschool 4-H programs on September 29th.

If you are interested to learn more about the 4-H Afterschool programs and/or would like to become a mentor, contact Diego Mariscal, the program coordinator.
