Teens throughout Solano County are invited to participate in a youth science education program sponsored by the University of California 4-H program.

Trained teen educators will teach hands-on science activities to elementary school children in after-school settings, using curriculum developed by the University of California. No previous experience is necessary. Interested volunteers are asked to respond by Oct. 1.

The 4-H SET (Science, Engineering, and Technology) program is designed to stimulate children's natural curiosity, increase their awareness of the environment, and improve their understanding of the world around them. Teen SET educators will be presenting the 4-H National Youth Science Day Experiment at the Tremont Elementary School Fall Festival in Dixon on Oct. 2.

For more information or to volunteer contact Sally Moore, sallymoore@underc.com or (530) 758-9344; or Jill Simmons, jcsimmons@rocketmail.com, or 548-5234.
