Third Thursdays Together



​Join staff and volunteers working with military-connected youth in 4-H programming for our Third Thursday Together webinar series.  Each third Thursday at 2 p.m. EST we offer webinars focused on trends and issues in positive youth development and share curriculum from the authors. Pre-registration is required (and at no cost) to participate the day of the webinar. Recordings are available the week following the session.

We welcome your ideas for future Thursdays.. Send a brief description and a little about you (and your fellow presenters) to  [email protected] for consideration. 
Program Schedule
Third Thursdays are at 2 p.m. EST

Food Curriculum Series
Angie Frost, Purdue Extension
​November 21

The Foods curriculum series from Purdue University is designed to help youth have fun in the kitchen as they learn basic food preparation skills, prepare different foods, do fun experiments, and go on fact-finding missions. These educational materials focus on healthy food selection, smart food purchasing, food safety and science, food preparation, food preservation, and careers in the food industry. The design emphasizes teaching young people the importance of balance with their food choices as they are building healthy food habits that will carry them to adulthood.

Passport to the World
Amy Henschen, Jaime Bosas, Alcha Corban, Martha Ebbsmeyer, Myla Munro, the University of Illinois Extension
December 19

Passport to the World is designed to help individual members, groups of 4-Hʼers, families, and 4-H leaders learn about a foreign country as part of the people-to-people 4-H intercultural emphasis. Passport to the World can be done as a project for an individual, an entire club, or as a 4-H special-interest school program. By studying a specific country and carrying out activities related to that country, you will be able to experience some of the excitement and flavor of being there.
