You're Invited
The 4-H Western Region and Washington State University invite you to join us for a national satellite conference showcasing the best in 4-H After School programming.

Through a USDA and National 4-H Council Engaging Youth, Serving Communities (EYSC) grant, a nation-wide call was put out for states to feature their After School programs. The intent of the EYSC grant is to serve rural youth in the areas of 4-H After School, Youth Governance and Professional and Volunteer Development. The 13 Western states and the Pacific Territory of Guam are actively engaged in providing dynamic 4-H youth programming.

This two-hour broadcast will feature 4-H professionals from around the country who will present their local programs and include interviews with adults and youth about what’s working well in their locale and what contributes to their program’s unique effectiveness. The broadcast will also feature a live, interactive discussion session utilizing toll-free phone and fax as well as email for viewer questions.

How You Can Participate
The broadcast is available in two ways—via satellite or a videostream on the Internet. The satellite downlink option is best for viewing by a group. It requires a steerable satellite dish capable of receiving a C-band satellite signal. Many Extension offices and community colleges have this type of equipment.

For individual viewers or people in locations where satellite reception is not available, the broadcast will also be accessible via the Internet using videostreaming technology. You will need an Internet connection that's better than a 56K dial-up connection and a personal computer that is loaded with RealPlayer or Windows MediaPlayer.

Prior to the broadcast, specific satellite and videostream viewing instructions will be sent to those who have registered for the broadcast.
