2019 4-H Innovation Grant
The Kansas 4-H Foundation Innovation Fund was created to stimulate new, innovative, growth-oriented initiatives that have the potential to be replicated for regional or statewide participation. Learn about our Collaboration plans with Kansas 4-H Youth Development. Experimentation is encouraged with measurable goals and outcomes required, and failure is accepted as part of the learning process. Learn more about the 2018 Positive Youth Development Action Plan.
