The program will be offered at five urban sites this spring. In Guadalupe, Comal and Travis county this 6-week series was used with 760 limited resource minority youth. Results from the youth who completed evaluations at the end of the series indicated an increase in knowledge about teamwork skills in one or more areas as a direct result of participating in the Talking with T.J. - Teamwork series. Developing these teamwork skills will enable these youth to get along with others when playing or working together. Youth also reported development of skills to help manage their anger and communicate effectively through the TJ Conflict Resolution series.
Agribusiness is the world's biggest and most important industry.
Everyone who eats, lives in houses and wears clothing depends on agribusiness. Through this hands-on program, youth learn how agriculture effects their daily life, the economic impact of agriculture on the Texas economy and careers related to agriculture. Youth experienced first-hand how to build an incubator, the stage of embryonic development and how to care for the chicks once they hatched.
