4-H delivered 54 afterschool/out-of-school time programs focusing on hands-on STEM programs such as Trash to Treasure, coding and electronic circuits. In 2019, Lancaster County 4-H updated Trash to Treasure afterschool learning opportunities in partnership with the City of Lincoln Solid Waste Management Division. This program teaches youth the positive impact they can make on the environment through reducing, reusing and recycling.
