Teens ages 15-18 are eligible for this 4-day service-learning experience that will build skills and abilities to prepare youth for success in a diverse workplace as well as build a cultural understanding of those who are different. This experience will not be about shopping or sightseeing, although we will visit some monuments and historic sites.
The 4-H Educator leading this experience will contact all teen applicants to complete an additional Zoom video/phone interview before selection.
