CNF is proud to partner with NYS 4-H in support of their STEM activities. As a program of Cooperative Extension, 4-H reaches every county in NY State. Their expanded mission embracing STEM makes CNF’s partnership with 4-H an excellent vehicle for reaching a broad population. Each summer, CNF, along with many other Cornell departments, participates in the 4-H Career Explorations event which brings nearly 500 youth from across NY to the Cornell campus for several days of hand-on activites. CNF also participates in annual workshops on campus for 4-H leaders.
