The 4-H Urban Immersion Project (UIP) is an Ohio 4-H initiative that combines cross-cultural learning, teamwork, and service learning in the urban environment of Washington, DC. This year marks the 12th anniversary of the UIP Experience!
4-H teens ages 15-18 and still in High School are eligible for this 4-day service-learning experience that will build skills and abilities to prepare youth for success in a diverse workplace and build cultural understanding of those who are different. This experience will not be about shopping or sightseeing; we will visit some monuments and historic sites. The cost of the experience is $250. All teen applicants will be contacted to complete an additional Zoom video/phone interview before selection.
