| Description: | UC's 50 Cooperative Extension offices are local problem-solving centers. More than 350 campus-based specialists and county-based farm, home, and youth advisors work as teams to bring the University's research-based information to Californians. CE is a full partnership of federal, state, county, and private resources linked in applied research and educational outreach. CE tailors its programs to meet local needs. CE's many teaching tools include meetings, conferences, workshops, demonstrations, field days, webinars, blogs, newsletters and manuals. Thousands of volunteers extend CE's outreach, assisting with nutrition and 4-H youth development programs along with Master Gardener, Master Food Preserver, and Master Food Shopper education. | ||

| Volunteer Info: | The 4-H Youth Development Program helps young people discover and develop their potential, ultimately developing into responsible, self-directed, and productive members of global society. Volunteers share their knowledge with young people, offering youth in their communities hands-on skills in a wide array of projects, including animal, plant, food, and nutrition projects, as well as graphic arts, rocketry, forestry, photography, bicycles, and much more. If you would like to start a 4-H club in your community, or volunteer with an existing club, contact Lynn Schmitt-McQuitty, Youth Development Advisor lschmittmcquitty@ucdavis.edu (831)763-8040 | ||
