Curricula for Ag Educators

Invest in Your Health, also known as IYH, is a series of free curricula developed by AgriSafe for agricultural educators, mentors in 4-H and FFA, and young producers (ages 14-23). Currently, AgriSafe offers seven different topics. Each topic is reviewed by content experts to reflect essential and up-to-date knowledge and skills that students need.

Training topics covered in Invest in Your Health

  • Say What? Protecting Your Hearing
  • Cover Up! Head-to-Toe Personal Protective Equipment
  • Stay Cool! Prevention of Heat-Related Illness
  • Stop Zoonosis in its Tracks! Prevention of Zoonosis
  • Where Y’at? Using Mapping to Define Hazards in Agriculture
  • Cultivating a Healthy Mind! Mental Wellness for Youth
  • No Safe Way to Vape

Each Invest in Your Health topic comes with its own guidebook to allow you to utilize curricula in your own classroom as you see fit. Additionally, each topic relates to at least one Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources (ANFR) standard, allowing you to confidently shape the design of your agricultural education plan.
