California 4-H SET

California 4-H SET will address the challenge by preparing 150,000 new young people to excel in science, engineering, and technology. CA 4-H SET will do this by focusing available resources, both public and private to:

• Create and disseminate innovative, research-based 4-H SET curricula that support the development of science literacy within the context of non-formal experiential education.
• Support and develop new and existing 4-H clubs, camps, afterschool programs and other youth deliveries that deliver high quality 4-H SET experiences.
• Provide adult-youth partnerships which effectively engage youth in the learning through adult mentors, coaches, and facilitators.
• Develop and deliver multi-faceted professional and volunteer development training for 15,000 volunteers that will build capacity and assure program sustainability.

Anchored in the University of California, CA 4-H SET brings the cutting-edge research and resources of the land-grant university system to combine with nearly a hundred years of premiere youth development work to address these global competitiveness and leadership issues.
