Do you have a passion to help others learn? Do you like to know how things work? Do you want to make a difference in your community this summer?

Welcome to the 4-H Teen Teachers program. 4-H Teen Teaching is a summer internship for teens ages 14-19 which will give you 21st Century Skills for your future while earning a stipend (money) for helping out. The internship is only a few hours per week during June and July so you can combine this awesome opportunity with another summer job or internship. If you take this challenge you will learn communication, leadership, perseverance, teamwork, science, teaching skills, and meet a lot of new friends.

If you are selected as a teen teacher, you will teach science lesson to 2nd-5th graders for one-two hours per week. We will train you how to help younger kids learn. The 4-H program in Cumberland County (a part of the University of Maine Cooperative Extension) will be seeking twelve (12) teens to be a part of this program running from June 25 – August 2, 2024. Required training will be from 9:30am – 3:30pm on June 25- 27, 2024.
