The 4-H After School program by the University of Nevada, Reno Extension 4-H Youth Development in Clark County, offers students at Ralph Cadwallader Middle School an inclusive developmental experience. Through the experiential learning model, the program promotes mastery, generosity, friendship, and positive adult mentorship (USDA, 2016). It effectively replaces unsupervised time with hands-on, educational, and recreational activities.

Extension forms partnerships with in-school professionals, who deliver the 4-H programming to students. Tailored to student needs and teacher expertise, the after-school projects engage and inspire. The UNR Extension supports the program by hiring educators, procuring supplies, and appointing a coordinator for each site, while schools contribute space and liaisons. Together, they recruit and enroll students and ensure a nurturing environment. Launched in August 2023, the program enriched the school year with five sessions of diverse activities, concluding in May 2024. Sessions were held Monday through Friday, after school, for an hour, marking a year of impactful learning and growth.
