What is YA4-H?<\/h2>\n

YA4-H! stands for Youth Advocates for Health. It is a 4-H program designed by university faculty to teach youth the basics of nutrition and physical fitness in an effort to empower them to make healthy choices.\u00a0 The WSU Extension 4-H program in Skamania, Klickitat, and Clark Counties received a grant from the Walmart Foundation to offer this health and wellness focused program to kids in all 3 counties. While this program has traditionally been run as an in-person activity either through camps or sessions at our local schools, the COVID-19 crisis has led to the creation of this virtual opportunity. We are excited to be able to offer our new 4-H Health at 4:00 virtual series for FREE<\/strong> to local families. To increase the impact of the program, we utilize a teen teaching model. Local teens are being recruited and trained to deliver this program with the support and supervision of County 4-H Staff. More information about the program can be found below.<\/p>\n

Program Description<\/h2>\n

This free 3 week virtual series is designed for kids ages 5-12 living in Clark, Skamania, and Klickitat counties. Participants will join us every Tuesday and Thursday from 4:00 to 5:00pm through Zoom for live instruction with local teens who have been selected to serve as Healthy Living Ambassadors.<\/p>\n

Each session will have a theme, and the sessions will consist of an exercise or physical activity, a story, a nutrition lesson, a recipe, and a photo challenge. Families will receive emails before each session with login instructions, a newsletter, and recipe card.<\/p>\n

We hope you’ll join us for 4-H Health at 4:00pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays from July 14th through July 30th!<\/p>\n

On Tuesdays and Thursdays at 4:00pm, participants will join 4-H staff and trained Teen Ambassadors online for an hour of fun. Kids will participate in an exercise activity, listen to a story, go through a nutrition lesson, and learn how to make our healthy snack. We’ll also issue a photo challenge each session for kids to showcase their healthy choices.<\/p>\n

At the end of the 3 weeks, you will receive a brief, anonymous survey to complete with your child(ren). Once the survey is submitted, you will receive a certificate to take to your local Farmer’s Market to redeem for fresh food. Families with 1 child participating will receive $35 certificate, and those with more than 1 child participating will receive a $50 certificate.<\/p>\n

To qualify for the certificate, participants must attend at least 4 of the 6 sessions. Funds are limited, and participation is limited to 60 families. Certificates cannot be redeemed for cash and will expire September 30, 2020.<\/p>\n
