The University of Vermont Extension 4-H program is launching a new initiative for Vermont high school students aged 14 to 18 to spend time outdoors and connect with peers of similar interests. The program will be split into two chapters, northern and southern Vermont, and is open to all high school students, not just 4-H members. Teens will have the opportunity to make decisions about recreational outings, community service, and job skill development. Interested teens are encouraged to complete a survey by May 9 for input.
