Special Interest and Short-term Projects
  • Groups of youth meeting for a specific learning
    experience that involves direct teaching by
    extension staff or trained volunteers, including
    teachers. Program is not part of school
    curriculum and not restricted to members of 4-H
    clubs. Multiple-day meetings, for example on
    college campuses, should be reported as
    short-term programs. The direct audience contact
    hours should be at least six for enrollment to be
    reported.

School Enrichment Programs
