SUMMARY:Webinar: A Conversation on Cultivating LGBTQ+ Safe Spaces for Ag Youth
DESCRIPTION:Summary: It is important for agricultural educators to create inclusive and safe learning environments for all youth. This includes taking intentional steps to make LGBTQ+ youth feel like there is a space for them in the agriculture industry\, 4-H\, and FFA. But it’s not always easy to know where to start. \nYou can take your first step by joining us for “A Conversation on Cultivating LGBTQ+ Safe Spaces for Ag Youth.” This webinar is intended to equip ag educators with practical strategies and insights to foster inclusivity\, understanding\, and equity in their programs. Implementing this knowledge will enable teachers and leaders to best support all students. This increased support will go on to draw in even more students to join the program! (Increased inclusivity = increased # of members!) \n  \nWhy are we talking about LGBTQ+ youth in agriculture? \n\nJune is Pride Month\, a time to celebrate diversity and the LGBTQ+ community.\n45% of LGBTQ youth seriously considered attempting suicide in 2022 – but those who felt affirmed and supported at school had lower rates of acting on those thoughts (source: The Trevor Project).\nEveryone has a place in the agricultural industry and deserves to feel like they belong.\nBy cultivating an inclusive environment and safe spaces for LGBTQ+ youth in ag\, we can increase positive health outcomes for that population as well as increase the number of youth who plan to go into the ag industry in the future!\n\n  \nIntended Audience: Ag educators\, teachers\, parents\, community members \n  \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to… \n\nHave a better understanding of LGBTQ+ youth and their experiences\nFeel confident in helping LGBTQ+ youth to feel like they have a space where they belong in agriculture\nBe prepared to create LGBTQ+ safe spaces in the ag education classroom\nBe able to find and share resources in the local community to support LGBTQ+ youth\n\n  \nSpecial thanks to the Cultivating Change Foundation (CCF) for working with AgriSafe to make this webinar a reality! CCF is a nonprofit whose goal is to “value and elevate LGBTQ+ agriculturists through advocacy\, education\, and community.” \n  \n Watch the Recording Here  \n

SUMMARY:Webinar: Too Young to Plow Alone: Keeping Youth Safe on the Farm with AYWG & HAYWG
DESCRIPTION:Summary: This webinar will focus on practical strategies to ensure the safety and well-being of youth working on farms\, using the Agricultural Youth Work Guidelines (AYWG) and the Hired Agricultural Youth Work Guidelines (HAYWG). This will underscore the importance of aligning job tasks with a child’s developmental abilities\, rather than age alone\, to prevent injury and promote a safe working environment. \nThrough real-life examples\, current data\, and evidence-based guidelines\, this session will help participants evaluate tasks\, implement safer work practices\, and understand federal and state labor laws related to youth in agriculture. Special attention is given to preventing injuries involving tractors\, machinery\, and hazardous work that young children may not be developmentally ready to perform \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to… \n Recognize the Risks: Identify the leading causes of youth injury and fatality on farms\, especially related to age-inappropriate tasks. \n Understand the Guidelines: Gain familiarity with the Agricultural Youth Work Guidelines (AYWG) and the Hired Agricultural Youth Work Guidelines (HAYWG) tools for matching farm tasks with a youth’s age and developmental stage. \n Apply Development-Based Safety Practices: Use evidence-based resources to determine whether a young person is physically\, cognitively\, and emotionally prepared to safely perform specific agricultural tasks. \n Comply with Labor Laws: Understand how to comply with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and any relevant state laws regarding youth employment in agriculture. \n Implement Practical Safety Steps: Learn actionable strategies to reduce risks on the farm\, such as supervision protocols\, training\, safety checklists\, and equipment restrictions for young workers. \n Promote a Culture of Safety: Encourage a mindset that prioritizes youth safety and supports long-term injury prevention and responsible mentorship on farms. \nIntended Audience: Farm parents and agricultural employers who hire youth workers. \nMeet the Presenter: Melissa Ploeckelman Brown\, Outreach Specialist\, National Children’s Center for Rural and Agricultural Health and Safety (NCCRAHS) \n Watch the Recording  \nTo register for this training\, you must have a free account in the AgriSafe Learning Lab.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Drive Present\, Arrive Safe
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Driving demands more than skill—it requires awareness\, presence\, and emotional control. This presentation explores how mindfulness practices can improve focus\, reduce stress\, and enhance safety on the road. Participants will learn how slow\, intentional movements\, calm breathing\, and emotional regulation can help prevent reactive driving behaviors and fatigue-related crashes. The session also addresses the dangers of multitasking\, drowsy driving\, and “passive fatigue” caused by long\, monotonous routes. Practical tools and take-home strategies—such as mindful breathing exercises\, pre-drive check-ins\, and healthy rest habits—equip drivers to stay alert and proactive. This session reminds participants that “Your mind and presence are your most important safety features.” \nObjectives: During this presentation\, attendees will learn… \n How sleep impacts health and safety \n The effects of drowsy and distracted driving \n What mindfulness is \n Tips and techniques for mindful driving \nIntended Audience: Anyone who drives\, with a particular focus on driver’s education students. \nMeet the Presenter: Ashley Fenning\, Food\, Nutrition\, and Health Instructor\, Nebraska Extension \n Register  \nTo register for this training\, you must have a free account in the AgriSafe Learning Lab.
