Activities

4-H youth receive an introduction to how GIS is used by the National Park Service.

4-H National GIS/GPS Tech Team youth and adults have been easily recognizable at the ESRI Education and International User Conferences in their vivid blue 4-H polo shirts. In addition to attending the conference, the youth provided GPS technical assistance to participants in the Saturday evening Allen Instruments sponsored GeoTreasure Hunt and gave informal presentations about their projects to conference attendees at the Sunday Evening Welcome.  Community Service is an important element of 4-H learning.  Cabrillo National Monument was the 2007 location of the National 4-H GIS/GPS Tech team Community Service project.

• 4-H Youth Favorite Places—A national project that teaches 4-H youth about GIS and GPS while providing a community service.
• 4-H Community Atlas Projects—Grant recipient projects are posted on the Community Atlas; search on Youth Club projects for 4-H projects. Congratulations to McLean County Kentucky 4-H for being chosen as the 2006-2007 Model Project of the Year.
