The University of the District of Columbia (UDC) has been selected to receive a scholarship to cover the costs of sending nine high school students to next year’s Ignite by 4-H Summit. The money will cover nine registrations for teens, three registrations for adults and three single-room upgrades. As the home of 4H youth development programs at UDC, the College of Agriculture, Urban Sustainability, and Environmental Sciences will select the scholarship recipients.
Ignite by 4-H is an inclusive teen event that will take place from March 13 to 17, 2024, in Washington, DC. Participants will enjoy four days of panels, workshop sessions, create connections and hear from respected speakers. Information about STEM, agriscience, healthy living, career readiness and emotional well-being will be shared.
