INTERGENERATIONAL PROGRAM OPPORTUNITY
________________________________
NC State Extension, in collaboration with NCA&T State University is submitting a proposal to a potential corporate partner to fund a pilot study seeking to engage 4-H youths and senior citizens in a program to enhance health and reduce social isolation of both groups. University Specialists will train youths to provide training in gardening, Tech Change Makers, Healthy Living, and story telling. Youths will then work with seniors in their own communities. There is evidence that both generations benefit from intergenerational programs.
The state needs 6 counties willing to engage 12 youths in this program. Training will take place from March to May, with the youth-adult engagement taking place twice monthly from June through September. A final report to the sponsee will be due in December.
If Lee County has 12 members interested in participating, please let me know today and I will put our name in for the pilot.

NC YOUTH INSTITUTE
Calling all 4-H Teens to Building a More Resilient Global Food System!
________________________________
All high school youth are invited to join us for the 2024 North Carolina Youth Institute, an exceptional opportunity that ignites a passion for solving global hunger through an engaging exploration of agriculture and food systems. The North Carolina Youth Institute is an educational initiative of the World Food Prize Foundation and is designed to spark and support emerging leaders in developing innovative solutions for our world’s most pressing grand challenges surrounding feeding a growing population.
The NCYI is hosted by NC State University’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, North Carolina Cooperative Extension’s4-H Youth Development Program and the Department of Crop and Soil Sciences and is a part of the World Food Prize Foundation’s Global Youth Institute. Youth come to campus in the spring of each year to attend the day-long institute at NC State University's Plant Sciences Building and share their research paper among peers and a panel of judges. Hands-on workshops,
field trips, keynotes and career development will round out the event. There is no registration cost to participate in the Institute. To participate, youth research a global issue and write a three to four page paper under the supervision of a teacher/mentor (using these downloadable guidelines).
For more information on how to participate in the North Carolina Youth Institute, contact the North Carolina State Coordinator Liz
Driscoll at liz_driscoll@ncsu.edu or at (919) 886-3424.

GAME OF DRONES TEAM REGISTRATION
Open until December 1 with orientation on December 2
________________________________
Team registration is open for the second NC 4-H Game of Drones competition. We will welcome 8 middle school and 7 high school teams to participate. Mixed teams will not be allowed this year as we hope to run the competition in two seperate divisions. Also, we will hold regional mock competitions this year to avoid everyone having to come to Greensboro for the face to face preparations for the big day. The locations will be determined once we have the teams in place and have an idea of where everyone is.
A handout is available with information about this year's competition.
Registration will be open until December 1st and the program orientation will be held on December 2 via Zoom. A detailed tentative schedule is in the attached information.
https://forms.office.com/r/bJEBmyDakx. Thanks all and we look forward to crowning the 2024 Ruler of Earth and Sky!
