Just a reminder that Youth Group Enrollment Forms have changed since we upgraded to the 2.6 version of the BRYE software.  Please see NYS 4-H staff web page under organizational systems to see new form. Â
FYI: We will no longer use S-6 and S-7 forms.  

Thought you might have some questions about the 4-H Give Change, Make Change for Youth Campaign…so we have arranged a few “Breeze/Connect” computer/teleconference calls to get on the same page and ponder some good questions together.

The deadline to submit county proposals for grants to the State 4-H Foundation is April 1. 

Remember this year we are using the National Safe Tractor and Machinery Operation Program materials from HOSTA and we are only certifying those 14 years old and older who successfully complete 24 hours of safety education, study and hands-on activities related to the course and the appropriate final exams.

Have you thoroughly listened to your 4-H teens lately to find out why they volunteer? Have you played human checkers? Been inspired to train frontline after-school in youth development? Realized there are over 57 ways to be involved in 4-H Afterschool and several will work in your program?

Cornell Collegiate 4-H lives on. Just a short note that Cornell Collegiate 4-H is alive and well on campus –working hard to support CCE of Tompkins County 4-H Youth Development program and raising funds to stay involved with Northeast and National Collegiate 4-H.

Please send any news about 4-H staff – accomplishments, departures and those joining us to kff2@cornell.edu!
