This summer, PRYDE, housed within Bronfenbrenner Center for Translational Research, held its second-annual Youth Investigators in Action Summit, where teens from North Rockland High School came to Cornell and put their classroom learning into action. pryde.bctr.cornell.edu/blog/2024/7/22…

Congratulations to Karen, one of our tremendous PRYDE Scholars! We could not be more thrilled for her.

To start off the semester, PRYDE scholars visited the New York State Fair for a day of unforgettable fun and a chance to see firsthand how 4-H works with youth from counties across New York State.

This summer, nys4h youth made meaningful contributions to their communities -- From books for kids in need to building birdhouses for a nursing home -- all to make positive changes in their communities. human.cornell.edu/news/imported/… Cornell Human Ecology Cornell Cooperative Extension PRYDE

Promise Woods & Jennifer Navarro Chavez (two shining stars of the PRYDE Scholars Program ✨) spent their summer planning a virtual celebration event for 4-H'ers who participated in the Contribution Project.🥳 Read about the event here!

The Contribution Project, an initiative that helps college students make a difference in ways they find meaningful, is expanding to teenagers throughout New York state through a new partnership with 4-H. bit.ly/3YbzV5n

"At its core, 4-H is an explosion of childhood. It honors the joy of youth while attempting to equip kids with real, tangible tools to succeed." Read PRYDE Scholar Jennifer Gerfen's blog about visiting the 4-H Youth Building at the NYS Fair!🍀Cornell Human Ecology shorturl.at/oGUEW
