On The Wild Side Program

On the Wild Side is a part of Cooperative Extension 4-H Youth Development  Program whose purpose is to bring environmental education and an outdoor living experience to fourth, fifth, and sixth grade children who have limited opportunity to explore wild places or sleep under the stars. Young participants are expected to grow in their knowledge and understanding of the natural world, expand their appreciation for conservation and environmental stewardship, and develop an enthusiasm for nature and outdoor experiences.

Training and empowering teenagers as program leaders, the project also increases feelings of service and environmental stewardship in those young people delivering the program. Teens attend a day-long training session, then work in teams to plan and deliver program components. High school students seeking a meaningful way to connect with and serve are invited to apply for a staff position.
