Professional Development

Connections and Community are such a beloved part of our 4-H program and creating spaces where all 4-H professionals can gather to reflect on the joyful pieces, roadblocks and problem solving creates a roadway for blooming. Whether you are brand new to 4-H, have spent your career in 4-H or fall somewhere in between the NYS 4-H team has created a virtual, shared coworking space to support our collaborative work across NYS. We imagine the coworking space as an opportunity to strengthen the 4-H community through relationship building, shared resources and storytelling.

 

We are excited to listen to your feedback, brainstorm and network together on topics along with using this space as a way to support connections and professional development in our 4-H program.

Land Acknowledgement

Cornell University is located on the traditional homelands of the Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' (the Cayuga Nation). The Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' are members of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, an alliance of six sovereign Nations with a historic and contemporary presence on this land. The Confederacy precedes the establishment of Cornell University, New York state, and the United States of America. We acknowledge the painful history of Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' dispossession, and honor the ongoing connection of Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' people, past and present, to these lands and waters.

This land acknowledgment has been reviewed and approved by the traditional Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' leadership. Learn more
