Mission

North Dakota 4-H Tech Wizards in Cass County, ND provides a culturally responsive small-group mentoring program. ND 4-H Tech Wizards fosters life skills development, community engagement and career exploration for youth in grades 8-11. Under-represented youth and their families engage in learning basic life and work-force skills, aspiring to post-secondary education, productive jobs and careers and community involvement. This is accomplished through the utilization of inquiry-based learning, with the support of the National 4-H Science program models, the Tech Wizards Program and the Office of Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention's (OJJDP) National Mentoring Program.
