Urban 4-H Topics include:
The Strengthening Families Program
This four-week online program is for parents/caregivers and youth ages 11 -
18. Youth programs will include 30
minutes of interactive activities to discuss teen development, communication
skills, managing emotions, and how to practice mindfulness and positive
self-talk.Youth will be encouraged to
share their activities and knowledge with their parents/caregivers.
Parent/caregiver programs are one-hour in length, and help participants enhance their parenting skills. Parents/caregivers, who are the experts on their families, will develop a deeper understanding of how their personal and parenting knowledge and behavior affects their children. This program will also include helpful family activities, and activities for parents/caregivers to share with their youth.
The Strengthening Families Program strives to empower families. We celebrate family strengths, improve communication skills, and provide support to both youth and parents/caregivers.
