Welcome!

We’re excited that you are visiting our website to discover Nebraska’s 4-H Curriculum.

Nebraska 4-H curriculum is developed in conjunction with faculty researchers at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and University of Nebraska Extension staff. Some of our manuals are the product of over two years of research—YOUth in Motion, for example. Nebraska 4-H curriculum focuses on experiential, activity-based learning of life skills that are important to students. Our products provide educators and students with up-to-date, inexpensive supplemental material which provide excellent references, even as students grow-up.

Please take some time to view our products, see what others have to say, and explore the wide array of uses for the curriculum. In the meantime, if you have any questions or need additional information, we’re always here to help!

 About Nebraska 4-H Curriculum

 Exciting and innovative are just some of the things being said about Nebraska 4-H  
 
Curriculum. Our curriculum development process involves getting feedback from
 youth on topics of relevance for today. Last year in Nebraska, our newly developed
Youth Curriculum
 Committee provided valuable feedback that helped direct the
 curriculum projects. In addition to the Youth Curriculum Committee, we have
 partnered with outside entities for various curriculum projects.

 In addition to outside partners for curricula development, the ESI curriculum was
 piloted with over 600 youth in schools, 4-H Clubs, homeschools, Military 4-H, Youth
 Camps, and other community groups. Although designed for the middle school
 audience, ESI has even been utilized by adult groups.

 We hope you enjoy our curriculum. Please feel free to provide us comments, as your
 feedback is greatly appreciated!
