Market Statement

Program Implementation

Cornell University and Cornell University Cooperative Extension — New York City (CUCE-NYC) will implement the 4-H CYFAR LEGACY program. CYFAR stands for Children, Youth and Families At Risk (CYFAR); LEGACY stands for (Let’s Grow Urban Agriculture through Community and Youth). CUCE-NYC 4-H educators will implement the 4-H CYFAR LEGACY. They will use Youth Community Action (YCA), a 4-H Signature Program, and an intergenerational approach to a variety of informal learning experiences designed to enhance their knowledge, skills, perspectives and behaviors related to civic engagement, urban agriculture, natural resources, and related sciences based on emerging needs and interests of teen leaders at each project site, with the support of their mentors, site leaders and local community leaders. The intention is for this deep learning about urban agriculture will also help youth to find their sparks (purpose). The project will be conducted by CUCE-NYC in close partnership with three Imagine Science NYC sites (Boys and Girls Club of Harlem, Kips Bay, and Madison Square) as well as the Tree of Life Center, the New York State (NYS) 4-H Office, Cornell University, and Minorities in Agriculture, Natural Resources, and Related Sciences (MANRRS).

Community Integration

The Boys and Girls Club at Kips Bay is integrated into the community and one of the reasons why we chose them as a community partner.

Technology Integration

At this site they have a hydroponics tower and are learning about composting.

Sustaining

The sites now have co-branded 4-H clubs and Junior MANRRS chapters. Each site can continue the co-branding and work separately and in the end they have funding from local county associations as well as from National MANRRS and our Governor's office as she has a line item to support agriculture programming in our state.
