H Youth Instructor- Ada​/Canyon

4-H STEM Ameri Corps program provides direct service to youth. Members lead and facilitate STEAM-based curriculum in out-of-school time programs, including after school clubs, summer camps, and community workshops. These activities are designed to spark curiosity, build problem‑solving skills, and encourage creativity among participants. Members adapt lessons to meet the developmental needs of diverse age groups, ensuring that learning is engaging and accessible.

Beyond instruction, members serve as mentors and role models. They create safe, supportive environments where youth can explore new ideas, develop confidence, and build positive relationships. By modeling integrity, empathy, and perseverance, members help youth envision a future filled with opportunity. This mentorship extends beyond academics, encompassing essential life skills such as teamwork, communication, and decision‑making. Members organize events that bring families into the learning process, fostering stronger connections between youth, parents, and the community.

These events may include STEM fairs, family science nights, and showcases of youth projects, all aimed at reinforcing the value of education and collaboration. Volunteer recruitment and engagement are also key responsibilities. By expanding the network of caring adults involved in youth programs, members amplify the program’s reach and sustainability.
