WSU Vancouver Teen-Works Program Taking Registration for Spring Courses

VANCOUVER, Wash. — 4-H Teen-Works, a no-cost program of the Washington State University Vancouver Center for Youth Workforce Preparation, open to youth ages 13 to 18, is hosting a spring semester open house 6:30 – 8 p.m. Jan. 23 in the Clark Center community room at WSU Vancouver. 4-H Teen-Works is a cooperative effort between WSU Vancouver, WSU Extension, Washington State 4-H, and the local community.

Participants can select one or more areas of interest and attend Career Exploration Tracks (short courses) held on the WSU Vancouver campus. A track series consists of six to 10 evening sessions.

A family orientation meeting for teens to sign up for classes and meet instructors will be held 6:30-8 p.m. Jan. 30, also in the Clark Center community room.

The Center is currently taking applications for spring registration. Call Stephanie Klein to register for Roller Coasters and Physics, Self Defense, Engineering, Basic Web Design, Beginning Robotics, Advanced Robotics, Model Dragsters, Leadership and Service Learning, and more.  

 “We have high quality students, staff and faculty and we are anxious to share their energy and expertise with the community,” said Michael Holroyd, associate professor and director of the Center for Youth Workforce Preparation. “Programs like WSU Vancouver’s 4-H Teen-Works are designed to do exactly that.”

 “The small, hands-on classes allows for the teens to interact with each other and gain valuable experiences,” said Stephanie Klein, 4-H Teen-Works coordinator. “Not only is it educating, but they are also gaining other skills such as teamwork, leadership, and communication.”
