Youth involved in this program will have opportunities to pursue their interest in agriculture and explore career pathways. This includes mentoring in post-secondary opportunities, as well as sparking a passion to investigate and explore current issues around food systems, livestock, crop sciences, aquaculture, climate issues impacting food systems, food equity, and more. There is no requirement to have previous 4-H membership, this program is open to all Maine youth with an interest.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">These opportunities will begin with a creation of an online learning community cohort and will also include in-person experiences on the UMaine Campus. This program will provide youth with an opportunity to connect to local agriculture and identify their role in the Maine Food System.<\/p>\n<p>Topics covered in this program include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Exploring participant\u2019s skill sets and areas of interest within agriculture<\/li>\n<li>Discovering opportunities for careers in agriculture<\/li>\n<li>Building relationships with industry professionals<\/li>\n<li>Investigating local Food Systems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>For teens that are 13-18 years old, we invite you to join us for our Ag Ambassador program this spring! This will be an opportunity to connect with other teens from around the state to explore and share your interests in the Maine food system, agriculture, climate change, environmental justice, and where all these interests collide. The spring 2023 cohort will meet from 3:30-5:00 pm on Tuesday afternoons from March 7 to April 18 on zoom with an in-person celebratory luncheon in Orono for families on April 20. The luncheon will kick off our overnight <strong>Teen Ag Symposium<\/strong> at the UMaine Orono campus on April 20 and April 21. This will be a hands-on exploration of many aspects of the Maine food system and the research and education happening at the University.<\/h3>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/4h\/youth\/ag-leadership\/registration-agricultural-leadership-ambassador-program\/\"><strong>Register Online Now<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our team of professionals from the University of Maine Cooperative Extension 4-H program is creating a program to provide agricultural education and leadership experiences to Maine youth ages 13-18.
