REDLANDS, CA . -- ESRI is pleased to offer a 2008 Geographic Information System (GIS) Grant for U.S. 4-H programs. The 4-H grant application period will be from January 1, 2008, through February 28, 2008.

Under the 2004-2007 GIS Grant for U.S. 4-H program, ESRI has awarded 4-H Clubs in more than 500 U.S. counties with ArcView and ArcPad software and Virtual Campus training. GIS technology was used by youth to help make a difference in their community service projects.

4-H National GIS/GPS Tech Team youth and adults have been easily recognizable at the ESRI Education and International User Conferences in their vivid blue 4-H polo shirts. In addition to attending the conference, the youth provided GPS technical assistance to participants in the Saturday evening Allen Instruments sponsored GeoTreasure Hunt and gave informal presentations about their projects to conference attendees at the Sunday Evening Welcome. Community Service is an important element of 4-H learning. Cabrillo National Monument was the 2007 location of the National 4-H GIS/GPS Tech team Community Service project.
