Youth Lab 2023

Greetings,

We are excited to announce that registration for the 2023 CEP 4-H Virtual Youth Leadership Lab is open. 2023 Virtual Youth Lab will be July 18-21, 2023. The link to registration is on the attached flyer, as well as below.

The Youth Lab summer program reaches underserved teens in 8^th, 9^th, 10^th, and 11^th grades from throughout the State of Texas. The 4-H and Youth Development Unit of the College of Agriculture and Human Sciences at Prairie View A&M University hosts the virtual camp to introduce young people to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) careers in agriculture. There are two overarching goals of this program:

1.) to increase the likelihood of youth from historically under-served/ underrepresented populations to pursue enrollment in post-secondary education

2.) to provide an awareness of and encourage interest to pursue careers in food, agriculture, natural resources, and human (FANH) careers. These goals are parallel to the mission of S.A.L.E., Inc. by focusing on educating and developing the youth of Texas for careers in agriculture. 

This year’s theme is “Growing Green” and will focus on energy conservation in agriculture. The agenda for this program is set up with fun, exciting, and educational activities filled with guest speakers, virtual field trips, hands on activities and more.

If you have youth that would be interested in applying please follow the link https://pvamu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_88Sw0AxUyz7qxo2 to apply by end of day May 19, 2023. There is one recommendation letter required.

Thank you!
