Targeting Youth
Populations in Agricultural Programming
Presented by Vanessa Spero
Join Dr. Vanessa Spero, Regional Specialized 4-H Extension Agent, UF/IFAS, for a one-hour webinar hosted by Florida AgrAbility focused on strategies for effectively reaching youth, especially youth with disabilities, through agricultural programming. This session will explore key findings from Dr. Spero’s dissertation, successful pilot programs like “Barnyard Challengers,” and how Extension professionals can build inclusive, empowering youth-focused initiatives in agriculture. Whether you’re already working with youth or just beginning to explore this opportunity, you’ll leave with tangible tools and ideas to take back to your programs.
