National 4-H Council, in partnership with the groundbreaking health initiatives of the nationwide Cooperative Extension System (CES) and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), is helping to drive transformational change to create a Culture of Health across 1,000 communities in America over the next ten years through a project called Well-Connected Communities. Channeling the energy and dynamism of youth, collective impact grounded in evidence and the expansive CES network of professionals and volunteers, the community-driven plan will ultimately increase the number of Americans who are healthy at every stage of life. WCMER co-coordinated WCC’s in-person project orientation; produced webinars related to youth leadership, healthy built environments and the opioid crisis in our communities; and produced a survey to assess current Extension professional development resources related to WCC core competencies.
