VANCOUVER, Wash.—Washington State University Vancouver is accepting applications for a new program for local middle and high school youth. The program, titled WSU Vancouver 4-H Teen-Works, is a cooperative effort between WSU Vancouver, WSU Clark County Extension 4-H and community partners. It is a program of the new WSU Vancouver Center for Youth Workforce Preparation.

Youth 13-18 years of age are eligible to join Teen-Works. They may select one or more areas of interest and attend Career Exploration Tracks, short courses held on the WSU Vancouver campus. Tracks begin in January and conclude in early April and are held early evenings during the week.

Career Exploration Tracks for the winter/spring term include crime scene investigation, engineering and science, race and gender diversity, self defense/Tae Kwan Do, human anatomy, camcorder operations, robotics, business/leadership and poetry in action. Space will be limited and early applications are encouraged.

A required family orientation session to confirm session registrations, introduce instructors, explain expectations and answer questions will be held from 6-7:30 p.m. on Jan. 11.
