The purpose of this Golden LEAF grant is to educate, equip, and encourage middle school youth from tobacco-dependent counties to develop entrepreneurial and financial literacy skills while learning about alternative, sustainable careers other than those traditional to their counties. Funds from this grant will be used to support the NC 4-H Development Fund and the NC 4-H Camping Program in implementing its Camp Challenge I, Weekend Academies, and Camp Challenge II programs. Youth from tobacco-dependent counties across the state will be targeted for participation.
