​​Experience Ignite

Ignite by 4-H is not just an event. It is a transformative journey allowing teens to find their spark in our programming tracks of Healthy Living, STEM, AgriScience, and Community Accelerators. 

Teens will get to focus on their chosen track through listening to subject matter experts, hands-on workshops, offsite experiences, and experiential activations on what really fuels their passion and the life and career skills they need to become ready for the future. However, if they are unsure on what track they want, they still get to explore any workshop they want as part of our Explore Workshops. 

AND... it's not just for teens, adult chaperones and mentors will also be able to participate in workshops and PYD immersions curated just for them to continue to learn the most up-to-date science and ensuring that their young people have the skills to be Beyond Ready.  

​Our Programming Tracks 

​Agriscience

Teens in the AgriScience track will focus on topic areas such as biology, environmental science,  veterinary science, hydroponics, urban farming, renewable energy and pollination to teach problem-solving, creative and critical thinking, and inspire kids to explore careers in agriculture. 

​Community Accelerators

Community Accelerators, our new empowering track, where teens will unite to develop innovative solutions for real-world challenges.
