Texas, (PRWEB) December 24, 2003
The North Region 4-H program, consisting of Panhandle, South Plains and Rolling Plains counties, will be offering Photography training to existing and new 4-H volunteers in the region.
This training program is made possible through North Region 4-Hs collaboration with Amarillo College, Midwestern State University and Texas Tech University Continuing Education / Extended Studies departments.
These courses will be conducted by photography professionals and college instructors and cover a wide range of subject matter from basic photography tips to developing and printing your own film to digital photography.
The classes range from a short time commitment of 4 hours for a digital photography course to a comprehensive study of fundamentals totaling 80 hours. There is also a price for every budget from $24 to $126.
This is the only in-depth 4-H photography training to be held for 4-H volunteers in Southern and Southwestern states, as far as I know, indicated Brad Davis, North Region Extension 4-H Program Specialist. The 4-H photography project is one of the fastest growing 4-H projects in the North Region, said Davis.
Those volunteers who are interested and complete at least 20 hours of photography instruction can become 4-H Photography Master Volunteers with completion of a 3-hour class, 4-H Volunteer Training. This is conducted after completion of the photography classes and covers general photography information, teaching youth and the ages and stages of youth. Volunteers who complete this class will receive a 4-H Photography Resource Notebook as part of their training.
Additional information about the 4-H Photography Training for volunteers and registration packets can be obtained from your local County Extension Agent at Texas Cooperative Extension or via the internet at the following website: http://lubbock.tamu.edu/4h/index.html
4-H offers multiple volunteer opportunities for all who are interested. To find out more about 4-H, contact your local County Extension office.
