Be A Hunger Hero

All high school youth are invited to join us for the 2024 North Carolina Youth Institute on April 5th, 2024 at NC State University’s Plant Sciences Building on Centennial Campus. The NCYI is an exceptional opportunity that ignites a passion for solving global hunger through an engaging exploration of agriculture and food systems. It is an educational initiative of the World Food Prize Foundation and is designed to spark emerging leaders in developing innovative solutions for our world’s most pressing grand challenges surrounding feeding a growing population. 

The NCYI is hosted by NC State University’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, North Carolina Cooperative Extension’s 4-H Youth Development Program and the Department of Crop and Soil Sciences and is a part of the World Food Prize Foundation’s Global Youth Institute. Youth come to campus in the spring of each year to attend the day long institute at NC State University and share their research paper among peers and a panel of judges. Hands-on workshops, field trips, keynotes and career development will round out the event. There is no registration cost to participate in the Institute.
