Conference Background
his conference is designed for middle, high school and community youth groups as a follow-up and as a component of youth development and 4-H curricula for the 澳门六合彩图挂牌 Cooperative Extension Program.
The curricula also include previous and upcoming youth entrepreneurship science and GIS leadership, healthy behavior, and other conference and workshops in the counties and on 澳门六合彩图挂牌's campus.
