The Chemours Company (“Chemours”) (NYSE: CC), a global company
committed to making its chemistry as responsible as it is
essential, and the Georgia 4-H Foundation, a unit of the University
of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences
Cooperative Extension Service and the premier youth leadership
organization in the state of Georgia, have announced a partnership
to provide environmental education and leadership learning to
youth.
Through Chemours’ Vibrant Communities initiative, the company
will provide $225,000 over three years to support Georgia 4-H in
its environmental science programming. In addition to monetary
support, Chemours employees will volunteer their time and expertise
to support the programs.
More than 170,000 youth participate in 4-H activities annually,
and environmental science is a major part of the curriculum offered
in schools, county Extension offices, and six 4-H centers across
Georgia. Youth explore the intersection of ecology, humankind, and
the environment as they learn about conservation of resources and
the impact of environmental stressors. Through numerous judging
teams, camps, classes, and personal project work, youth are exposed
to hands-on learning and real-world experiences. Forestry,
wildlife, and land conservation are important elements of the 4-H
environmental science curriculum. The research-based programming
used by Georgia 4-H correlates to the Georgia Standards of
Excellence.
“Chemours is proud to support the wonderful initiatives and
opportunities the Georgia 4-H provides to youth in Georgia,” said
C.J. Hilton, Vice President, Mineral Operations at Chemours. “We
believe in investing in our communities, and we are committed to
environmental leadership. This partnership allows us to collaborate
with an organization that is teaching and inspiring the next
generation of environmental stewards, and we are excited to play a
role in their development. We will work together to make our
communities stronger and expand access to sustainable environmental
programs.”
“As the private fundraising arm for Georgia's premier youth
development organization, the Georgia 4-H Foundation is committed
to building relationships with relevant partners to enhance
leadership and workforce development opportunities for youth in all
159 Georgia counties,” said Adam Hammond, Executive Director of the
Georgia 4-H Foundation. “This partnership with Chemours will
provide unique and effective opportunities for collaboration and
education, and we are grateful for their deep support.”
On Wednesday, Feb. 14, representatives from Chemours mineral
operations in Georgia will join the Foundation to celebrate Georgia
4-H Day at the Capitol in Atlanta. Nearly 600 4-H’ers will be on
hand to engage with their lawmakers.
