Some remote learning day activities to think about:
Youth Environmental Summit (grades 6-12):
This year's Summit will run for 3 weeks with a kick-off on Friday, October 30 and stay open until November 20. This will allow you to attend when it works with your schedule! Using Flipgrid we are building a virtual community learning space with keynotes, workshops, "Be the Change Audio Wall" and more to make sure the sharing, learning, and networking that usually happens at YES will still happen.
4-H Speak Up Contest (grade 3-12):
Part of civic engagement, a key mission of the 4-H program, is helping young people use their voice to drive change in their communities. The 4-H Speak Up contest encourages youth to explore and share their thoughts and ideas. Enter a video for a chance to be heard! Contest ends November 30; a $50 gift certificate will be awarded to the winner in each age category.
