4-H Afterschool Training
4-H Afterschool Training 

Funded by MetLife Foundation

The goal of the MetLife Foundation and National 4-H Council partnership is to provide high quality training to at least 5,500 local after-school providers annually.
MetLife Foundation and 4-H will collaboratively:

  • Improve the quality of after-school programs;
  • Infuse civic engagement into after-school programs; and
  • Increase the number of youth engaged in high quality after-school programs.

Competitive grants of $15,000 each will be awarded to ten state 4-H programs. Grantees will be expected to provide a minimum of eight hours of training to at least 550 local after-school providers.

This enhanced partnership will result in providing underrepresented youth with opportunities to reach their full academic potential through their participation in high quality after-school programs. Through this partnership, National 4-H Council aims to impact more than 200,000 at-risk youth and 11,000 after-school providers nationwide, over the next 2 years.

This grant cycle generally runs from February – November.
