Civic Engagement & Leadership

UCR ROPES COURSE & CIVIC ENGAGEMENT/
SERVICE-LEARNING LEADERSHIP PROJECT

In efforts to encourage youth to get involved in county-wide
projects and events and learn more about UC Riverside, our
Riverside County 4-H YDP Management Board and staff
planned and coordinated a UCR Ropes Course activity open
to 4-H youth members ages 8-19 on October 28, 2023. The
event brought together youth members from many of our
clubs in Riverside County and served as the first step in
developing a county-wide civic engagement/service-learning
leadership project that youth will be able to participate in this
program year to strengthen their teamwork and leadership
skills and enhance their participation in county events.

Youth use their teamwork and
communication skills to roll a ball
into a small cone using only a
curved plastic surface to guide the
ball down.
