NJ 4-H Food Security Seminar Series
New Jersey 4-H is recruiting a team to participate in the World Food Prize Research Project. Youth members will work with a team to develop individual research projects addressing global food security issues. Participants will meet once a week with mentors and peers to prepare their research projects. Projects will be presented at the Rutgers University Youth Institute Summit on March 5. During this day-long program, students get to learn about critical global issues, network with local leaders, engage in hands-on activities, and explore exciting ways to become effective change agents in their own communities, conscientious global citizens, and tomorrow’s scientific humanitarian leaders. Sessions will run on Mondays, 7:00–8:00 pm starting January 4–February 1.

Sussex County Horse Bowl Team is inviting all S. C. Horse Project 4-H members to join them.
Horse bowl Winners
Horse Bowl is an educational and fun project in which 4-H’ers learn many aspects of the horse and enhance their study skills by using selected reference materials. Topics include equine anatomy and physiology, conformation, feed and nutrition, evolution, breed characteristics, reproduction, horse management, tack, and equipment, as well as styles of riding.
This accumulated knowledge is tested in the form of a “College Quiz Bowl” style competition held in February. 4-Her’s must work together with their teammates to answer questions quickly. The knowledge and skills gained in these practice sessions can be carried on to all other aspects and projects in the NJ 4-H Horse Program, such as Horse Judging and Hippology.
Practices will be held weekly via Zoom starting Monday, November 30th, and run through the end of February. They will be held at 6 pm. 4-H members enrolled in the Horse project are eligible to participate. Members from 4th to 13th grade are eligible to compete at the NJ State Horse Bowl Competition, however, Cloverbuds are welcome to join the practice sessions! Top scoring senior members may have the opportunity to go on to compete at the National 4-H Horse Round-Up!
For more information or Zoom meeting links contact either Horse Bowl Coach Michelle Teitsma (teitsma@njaes.rutgers.edu) or Tabitha Higgins (ahtibat@embarqmail.com).
