Capital Challenge

2020 Ohio Youth Capital Challenge

| rees.139

Ohio Youth Capital Challenge is an exciting program with a primary goal of increasing youth citizenship knowledge and participation.  The Ohio Youth Capital Challenge Portfolio Showcase is the culmination of an interactive civic education program designed to actively engage youth in the civic life of their communities.  In the OYCC, your group will be identifying and analyzing issues and problems facing your community (school, neighborhood, town/city, state). You will select one of these issues or problems for detailed study. After you complete your research, your group
will propose a public policy to deal with that issue or problem. Finally, your group will develop an action plan detailing the steps to take to have their public policy proposal adopted by the appropriate governmental authorities.  An Ohio Youth Capital Challenge Portfolio consists of two components: a visual display and a five-section documentation binder. This is the product that will be evaluated.

Exceptional community citizenship is one of the values that makes FFA, 4-H and Farm Bureau such successful organizations. These groups are partnering to bring the Ohio Youth Capital Challenge to you. Here is your chance to get involved and have a hands-on experience that will enable you to make your community a better place.

Delegates must be in at least the ninth grade and between the ages of 14 and 18 during the 2017-2018 school year. Delegates are expected to have concern for local community issues and a desire to be more involved. Cost to youth is $30 upon selection.

Up to 40 youth will be selected for the challenge. Participants will need to be ready to travel to Columbus for Phase One of the challenge. They will work in their assigned team during the following months developing a policy and presentation. Teams then will come together in Columbus to present. The winning teams will compete at the Ohio State Fair for cash prizes.
