4-H Spaces and SPACESTOO Program |
|
|
|
The Wake County 4-H Spaces program was implemented by Wake County Cooperative Extension in 1991. Youth development educators facilitate group sessions to assist youth in making healthy life choices. Our goal is to provide appropriate life and survival skills that will enhance the quality of life and promote a positive sense of future purpose for our participants.
Spaces is designed to assist youth in developing an understanding of:
-
INNER SPACE - the individual/self relationship
-
SHARED SPACE - life shared with family and individuals in their immediate surroundings
-
OUTER SPACE - the potential for growth and talent in society
4-H Spaces serves youth ages 12-16 in topics such as decision making, critical thinking, conflict resolution, violence prevention, substance use prevention, communication skills, positive community involvement, and self-empowerment.
4-H SPACESTOO serves youth ages 16-18 with a primary focus on youth applying what they have learned in group to their real-life situations to enhance their educational and/or career development.
