The Cooperative Extension
System and National 4-H Council
have received a $3.5 million grant
from the DeWitt Wallace-
Reader’s Digest Fund to assist in
planning, implementing, and eva
luating programs during a four
year period for Extension’s
National Youth At Risk Initiative.
The Youth At Risk Initiative
targets the social and economic
implications of not addressing the
urgent needs of the next genera
tion of Americans. One of Exten
sion’s goals is to expand its out
reach to more youth, particularly
to those who are most vulnerable
because of poverty, lack of paren
tal and community support, and
negative peer pressure.
“This grant will provide oppor
tunities for staff to maintain and
enhance technical knowledge and
process skills,” said Myron Johns
