4-H Columbia and Greene Counties

New program starting on January 12 for youth ages 9-19! Wild and Crazy Careers! Do you know what you want to be when you grow up? Do you want an "out-there" career? Hear from people who followed their passions to find a job they love--from wildland firefighters to wildlife documentary creators, from zookeepers to mountaineers, and everywhere in between. Get ready to ask yourself, "you can get paid for THAT?" Career professionals include Sea Kayak guide, Youth Conservation Cor...ps trail builder, small business owners (eco tourism and farming), zookeepers, wildlife videographers, police dog trainer, mountaineers, and wildland firefighters. Youth will learn skills in setting SMART goals, interviewing techniques, resume tips, and more. Please contact Liz Wiener, [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]), with questions. This will be a 6-week Zoom series on Tuesday afternoons from 4:30-5:30pm Eastern Time. Open to all, no cost. Sign up here: [https://events.anr.msu.edu/wildcrazycareers/
