We are pleased to announce the 2013 Virginia 4-H Foundation Innovative Programming Awards program. The Virginia 4-H Foundation Innovative Programming Awards will be awarded on a competitive basis to ten 4-H faculty. Each award will be $1,000 and will be used to develop and implement innovative 4-H programming efforts. In addition, the selected faculty members will be assigned an iPad. Previous iPad recipients will have the option to select another piece of supporting technology equipment at the same or lower cost of an iPad. It is expected that iPad or other technology equipment will be incorporated into the proposed innovative program. Training will be provided in the use of the technology. All 4-H faculty members are eligible to apply including 4-H center faculty.

Applications will be accepted through June 5, 2013 and the awards will be presented at State 4-H Congress.

Faculty receiving awards will be expected to submit a story and 4 pictures to the VCE Success site summarizing program outcomes/impacts, and technology usage related to the funded program.
