Veterinary Science Program
The 4-H Veterinary Science Program is an educational, career oriented program for young people, ages 13-18 consisting of a series of 3 or 4 one hour sessions to learn about career opportunities in Veterinary Medicine, animal health and safety, and responsible pet ownership. The classes are taught by local veterinarians in their respective clinics or offices at selected times during the month of March. The program is sponsored by Virginia Cooperative Extension in Fairfax County, in cooperation with interested local veterinarians. The registration fee for participating youth is only $5.00.  For more information on this program view this brochure: More Information about the 4-H Veterinary Science Program (PDF | 179KB)
