4-H CAPITAL inspires youth to develop into inquiring scientists, citizens of character, partners in service, and engaged community members through participation in project-based learning experiences and collaborative community involvement.We began in 1992 as a 5-year USDA grant. Adopted by Travis County in 1997, the program received its first AmeriCorps grant in 2003; since then, AmeriCorps funding has been continuously renewed annually. With the support of AmeriCorps volunteers, 4-H CAPITAL has grown from one school to nearly 40, totaling more than 25,000 contact hours annually with Travis County youth.4-H CAPITAL provides high quality after-school enrichment programs that focus on science, engineering and technology. We provide hands-on learning experiences that not only help youth become successful adults but also reduce risk-taking behaviors that inhibit success. By establishing positive relationships with the youth we serve, 4-H CAPITAL allows our 4-H Club members to acquire science and inquiry-based knowledge and skills, build character, and develop life skills in a fun learning environment that will enable them to become self-directing, productive members of society.4-H CAPITAL's afterschool instructors are professionals trained not only in their subject area, but in classroom instruction and youth development. Our Full Time and Half Time AmeriCorps members have been "getting things done" in Travis County's afterschool programs since 2003. During the 2013-2014 school year , 28 AmeriCorps members will serve over 39,000 hours in our afterschool programs at 38 school sites.
