Community Service Credit will be given to all Putnam High School Youth who Register for and [virtually] attend this workshop.

The Putnam County Youth Forum is a collaborative, educational conference, for Putnam High School Students, hosted by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Putnam County's 4-H Youth Development Program and the Putnam County Youth Bureau.

For 25 years, The Putnam County Youth Forum has been a day-long, school supported, educational field trip – held at a local community venue (Camp Herrlich in 2019), with approximately 130 Putnam High School students attending annually.
 
In response to the Covid19 Coronavirus crisis, we have re-created the Youth Forum in a NEW Virtual Format.  A variety of teen-focused online workshops, led by community professionals, will now be offered throughout the month of March; held at different times on different days.

Putnam High School Students, with parental permission, can participate in as many Zoom Workshops as they choose, throughout the month of March, based on the topics that interest them.  All of the workshop topics were identified and selected by the student-led planning committee members which represent Brewster, Carmel, Haldane, Mahopac & Putnam Valley High Schools.

PARENTS - PLEASE NOTE: We have taken a variety of steps to ensure the online safety & security of your child. All workshops are led by community professionals and moderated by Cornell Cooperative Extension or Youth Bureau staff.
