Outcome: Initial Outcome
For the first time, Adair County 4-H has a participant in the 4-H Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences Academy (NRESci). This three-year program is designed to teach middle—and high-school-aged youth about their natural environment. The program's overall goal is for youth to develop a greater understanding of natural resources and environmental sciences in Kentucky while increasing leadership skills.
The learning outcomes for the NRESci academy are that scholars will:
•Have a greater understanding of natural resources and environmental sciences in Kentucky
•Gain an appreciation of Kentucky’s natural resources while developing leadership skills
•Develop life-long learning skills based on observation, actions, and evaluation
•Engage in activities that reinforce the concept of three-dimensional learning as specified in the Next Generation Science Standards
•Be introduced to careers in natural resources and environmental sciences
Each year of the 3-year program, scholars concentrate on a different core area (water, forestry, wildlife) and interact with professionals in these disciplines.
Adair County has one youth participant and two adults who are volunteering to help with the NRCESci Academy.
