Teen teachers with the 4-H Green Superheroes of Science have been honored with the 4-H Community Leadership Award, a distinction bestowed upon just two 4-H groups in Minnesota each year by the Association of Minnesota Counties. The groups’ lessons draw from the collaborative 4-H Sustainable Polymers curriculum—a joint curriculum crafted by CSP and 4-H—and highlight the importance of caring for the environment.
This accolade recognizes outstanding community leadership, with a special emphasis on excellence in educating youth and the public about materials science, bio-plastics, and plastic pollution. The teen teachers earned commendation for their remarkable efforts in environmental education, particularly in safeguarding Minnesota’s waters and lands.
Furthermore, the group has been selected to present at the National 4-H Ignite conference in Washington DC for the second consecutive year. At the conference, they will lead workshops on leveraging art to address plastic pollution, impacting approximately 80 teens nationwide.
Congratulations!
