High schoolers can learn many ‘Life Lessons’ with 4-H & Purdue Extension

Purdue Extension and Indiana 4-H have announced the third offering of “Life Lessons” for 2023.

This program is open to all high schoolers (grades 9 through 12) in Indiana. This virtual, eight-week series of lessons will focus on topics that will have positive effects on youth as they grow into adulthood. This workshop series is based on the mission of Indiana 4-H to “provide real life educational opportunities that develop young people” at a state-wide level.

Through Google Classroom, topics will cover one-hour lessons on auto care, basics of budgeting, etiquette and people skills, food preparation and safety, home care, online and social media safety, self-care and mental health, and celebrating what they’ve learned. Youth will have follow-up activity after each lesson to reinforce learning, including one “virtual” component and one “off-screen” component. Guest speakers will join the lessons during various sessions to bring in expertise and provide youth the opportunity to connect with professionals.

Registration can be completed at v2.4HOnline.com. To register, create an account or sign in. The registration can be found under the Events tab.

The $30 registration fee covers the cost of all provided material, content, and supplies that will be sent to registrants. Financial assistance is available. Email hendrces@purdue.edu for details or visit bit.ly/23lifelessons.
