In 2006, the Programs Committee of the National Association of Extension 4-H Agents (NAE4-HA) formed a task force to address issues related to urban 4-H programming. One of the first undertakings of the task force was to compile a directory of successful 4-H programming efforts conducted in the urban environment.
The Youth Voices Project was selected to represent the northeast as one of the nation's top four urban 4-H programs. Youth Voices was a five-year New Communities Project completed in 2005. It was funded by the Children, Youth and Families At Risk (CYFAR) Program, National 4-H Headquarters, Cooperative State Research Education and Extension Service (CSREES), and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Steve Goggin and June P. Mead were Co-project Directors.
The directory is now available online at: http://www.colorado4h.org/urbanprogram/.
