Unfortunately, there are some youth who are not born with the privilege of living within a stable home, or even a home at all. According to the 2018-2019 Homeless Student Count by the Kentucky Department of Education, Jefferson County School District reported 5178 kids, preschool through 12^th grade are homeless. Youth being homeless means that they are not learning the skills they would otherwise possibly obtain in a stable household. To assist in combating this issue, Jefferson County 4-H partnered with YMCA Safe Place to provide programming that would teach homeless youth skills that will help them provide for themselves. Jefferson County 4-H first provided gardening lessons, teaching the participants how to grow peppers, okra, strawberries, squash, zucchini, and flowers. 4-H then provided cooking lessons, teaching the participants how to make a number of dishes utilizing vegetables from the garden and lean meat bought from the grocery story. On average, there were as many as 6 students participating at a time. In total, there were 8 youth participants reached in both sessions of the program, 8 youth participants who gained new skills, empowering them to become more self-sufficient.
