It is my pleasure to announce that 4‑H and Coca-Cola have combined efforts to support 4‑H’ers leading community-based environmental stewardship projects across the United States and its territories. To be promoted nationwide as REAL 4‑H!, this partnership will Refresh the Environment with Action Leaders in local communities nationwide. This effort, a natural extension of the Coca-Cola Company’s commitment to environmental responsibility, will help 4‑H further its work in environmental education and earth sciences projects as a part of the Science, Engineering and Technology mission mandate.

Through REAL 4‑H!, National 4-H Council is offering mini-grants to engage youth in hands-on, science-based, experiential learning that will develop and enhance the young people’s ability to identify and understand environmental issues in their communities while enabling them to provide leadership toward solving the issues. Grants will be awarded to county-based 4-H Programs in one of three categories selected by the applicant: water (water quality, water conservation, and/or watershed protection), recycling, or community beautification (including litter abatement). Successful applications will be those that present innovative and creative environmental science within the required categories, incorporates the essential elements of 4-H, reaches a large number of youth, partners with local organizations, actively promotes the partnership with Coca-Cola, and makes a difference in their communities.

Attached to this message is the REAL 4‑H! RFP. This RFP can also be found at http://www.fourhcouncil.edu/GrantsProgram.aspx. If you have questions please contact Ron Drum (rdrum@fourhcouncil.edu or 301-961-2814).
