School Enrichment Programs
School Enrichment is a partnership between UF/IFAS Extension and the school district. Together, we deliver educational content across a variety of subject areas. 4-H values its relationship with local schools and welcomes the opportunity to bring research-based curricula into the classroom.
School enrichment curriculum resources are an important part of the 4-H program in Florida. A key goal is also to expose youth to other 4-H experiences, such as the 4-H Club.
Research shows that youth in long-term, positive programs like 4-H benefit in many ways. They are less likely to engage in high-risk behaviors. They also show higher school attendance and grades, better conflict management, and stronger work habits. 4-H School Enrichment gives youth and parents a glimpse of what a longer commitment to 4-H can offer.
