What is 4-H Spark Expo?

The 4-H Spark EXPO (Exploring Pathway Opportunities) is an exciting opportunity for youth who have completed the eighth grade at the conclusion of the 2022-2023 school year. There will be four days of fun and learning with activities to explore a variety of career and educational opportunities. Attendees will develop valuable skills, make new friends, and fuel individual growth; and they will get the chance to tour Ohio State’s campus.

NEW FOR 2023: We will be traveling to the OSU Wooster Campus on June 15, so our participants get to experience more of CFAES!

 Who can attend?
Youth who have completed the eighth grade of the current academic year. Space is limited as we will only be able to accommodate up to 75 youth.
