Let's Talk about Gender Identity
State Offering | Grades 6-12
Virtual
Let’s Talk about Gender Identity is a five-session series designed to provide a safe place for youth to have important conversations about gender identity. This series demonstrates to LGBTQ+ youth that they are valued and welcomed by 4-H and gives all youth the tools to be supportive and effective allies. The peer-reviewed curriculum was created by MN 4-H youth alongside regional and local Extension educators. Session highlights include gender identity basics, a panel of LGBTQ+ and ally 4-H alumni, and tools to interrupt harassment and bias. Youth will be able to connect, share, and hear from 4-H Alumni in a safe and supportive environment facilitated by their peers online at the end of June.

Review the Minnesota 4-H Code of Conduct
With so many summer 4-H activities planned, now is the time for 4-H members, parents, and volunteers to review the Minnesota 4-H code of conduct. Also, share the behavior expectations with any of your guests who will be attending a 4-H program. Following this standard of behavior contributes to a safe, welcoming environment. The code of conduct applies to both face-to-face and online environments and is in effect:
While participating in or attending a 4-H sponsored program (e.g., club meeting, project meeting, activity, event, learning opportunity).
At the county fair while participating in or attending a 4-H event or while on premises used for 4-H purposes (e.g., show ring, exhibit building, barn, food stand).
At the state fair, during their (or their child’s) assigned encampment or assigned volunteer responsibility.
