FLX 4-H Learning Launchpad

https://www.facebook.com/FLX4HLearningLaunchpad/

The mission of the New York State 4-H Youth Development program is to connect youth to hands-on learning opportunities that help them grow into competent, caring, contributing members of society.

The FLX 4-H Learning Launchpad was formed during the COVID-19 outbreak to offer the high quality 4-H experience that our families value in a safe online environment.

Our objectives were to maintain a sense of connection with 4-H families across the 9 county Finger Lakes Region, connect our research based resources with new audiences, and complement at home learning.

Each weekday at 10:00am, new content was added to the FLX Facebook page that included a variety of content areas, targeted ages, and modes including live stream, prerecorded videos, and informational sheets. This content is still available at the links below.
