RootED Afterschool Program

4-H RootED is:

RootED in education

RootED in civic engagement

RootED in inspiring STEAM careers

4-H RootED is a year-round program, providing both afterschool and summer programming in Binghamton City School District’s (BCSD) seven elementary schools.

RootED uses Cornell University’s 4-H Signature Program, Youth Community Action to improve the social, emotional, academic and vocational competencies of elementary school-age youth.

The goal of RootED is to inspire careers in Science, Technology, Engineering/Environment, Art/Agriculture and Math (STEAM) and prepare young people to care about others through civic engagement and community improvement projects. BCSD provides funding for RootED.

BHS Program Assistants

The RootED program has the privilege of hiring Binghamton High School students to work along side the team as Program Assistants. These students offer a great deal of support and mentorship to RootED's youth, as well as build workforce development skills for their own future. Using this model encourages peer-to-peer relationships and helps build a sense of community.
