4-H MYCA (4-H Maine Youth Community Action) 
4-H Maine Youth Community Action is Maine’s program based on a grant program called Engaging Youth, Serving Community program of National 4-H Council.
A Youth and Adult Core Team of 4-6 members recruit an Intensive Team of 15 – 20 members, and hold a community forum to identify an issue so a Participant Team of 35-50 members implement an action plan.to take issues to action.
Over the course of 3-5 years these teams make a lasting change in rural communities. Young people gain skills immediately due to their own interest engaging them with community. Communities get energized and resolve long standing issues inclusive of a broad spectrum of members.
At the October 2010 4-HMYCA Leadership Weekend, Katie, Dani, and Alex (the 4-HMYCA Core Team) are co-facilitators for workshops training the five 4-HMYCA sites. Please visit our five sites to see what each has been doing.
