This Cooperative Extension System grant is for improving research-based 4-H youth development programs specifically designed for military-connected youth. The Children, Youth, and Families At-Risk (CYFAR) 4-H Military Partnership Project aims to leverage Land-grant Cooperative Extension System resources and other collaborations. Its core purpose is to develop and deliver educational programs that equip military-connected youth with crucial resiliency skills, fostering positive, productive, and contributing lives. Military-connected youth face unique challenges, including frequent family deployments, relocations, single-parent households, lower income, and the impact of family members returning home wounded or not returning. This initiative directly addresses these vulnerabilities by enhancing support through tailored 4-H programs.

| Description: | The mission of the CYFAR 4-H Military Partnership Project is to marshal resources of the Land-grant Cooperative Extension System in collaboration with other organizations to develop and deliver educational programs to equip military-connected youth in resiliency skills that they need to lead positive, productive, and contributing lives. The CYFAR philosophy (http://www.nifa.usda.gov/nea/family/cyfar/philosophy.html) is the basis for CYFAR 4-H Military Partnership Project. Military-connected youth are inherently at risk from a variety of factors that include: multiple and lengthy deployments by family members, relocation of the family, single parent households, lower income, and family members returning home who are wounded or do not return home. The purpose of CYFAR 4-H Military Partnership Project is to improve the quality of research based 4-H youth development programs for military-connected youth supported by the Cooperative Extension system. |
