Registration deadline extended to August 20th! Please do not miss out on this great opportunity!

Hello,

My name is Brenna Johns and I am the project coordinator for the new veterinary science project being offered to 4th-6th grade 4-H members in San Benito, Santa Cruz, and Monterey counties. Currently we are looking for both participants and adult volunteers to get involved in the project.

This is an exciting educational project for youth both with and without animal science experience that will teach them about animal science through fun and interactive exercises. This is a great opportunity for youth to become involved in new and different activities as well as a wonderful way to add to their 4-H record book and story. If participants attend all project meetings they will receive a certificate as well as a special gift such as a stethoscope.

The project consists of 9 meetings each with a duration of 1-2 hours. There are three meeting schedule options that are available to participants; weekly, every other week, and every three weeks, to accommodate all family calendars. Similarly, participants can rank their meeting location preferences to prevent lots of travel.

Currently we are also very much in need of adult volunteers to help us provide this exciting project to 4-Hers. All volunteers will receive free training for the project at 3 professional development sessions, and therefore do not need any prior knowledge about animal science. Volunteers will lead each of the 9 project meetings and may also rank their meeting schedule and meeting location options. I would also encourage parents with children that would like to participate to become volunteers.

The registration website is http://ucanr.org/vetscireg

Attached are the Adult and Volunteer Brochure with the meeting schedule option dates, as well as the Youth Flyer. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me via email at bnjohns@ucdavis.edu or by phone at (831) 637-5346 ext. 13.

Sincerely,

Brenna Johns
