If your club or family wishes to start preparing for the Life Challenge Contest to be held on Thursday, May 29, you may access the study packet at https://go.unl.edu/life-challenge. At the contest, the hands‑on learning stations, multiple choice quiz and oral reasoning sections will be based on the information in this packet. Some clubs review one section at each meeting or have older members study a section ahead of time and report and teach the members. Stop by the Extension office if you would like a hard copy of the study packet.
The Life Challenge Contest is open to all 4‑H'ers ages 8–18 (by January 1 of the current year) and helps youth learn more about issues related to family and consumer science topics such as well‑being, nutrition, art, personal finance, childcare, public speaking, fitness, sewing and wardrobe planning.
