(a) We will establish and maintain an agriculture education outreach program for Indian and Alaska Native youth that will:
- (1) Encourage students to acquire academic skills needed to succeed in post-secondary mathematics and science courses;
- (2) Promote agriculture career awareness;
- (3) Involve students in projects and activities oriented to agriculture related professions early so students realize the need to complete required pre-college courses; and
- (4) Integrate Indian and Alaska Native agriculture program activities into the education of Indian and Alaska Native students.
- (b) We will develop and carry out the program in consultation with appropriate community education organizations, tribes, ANCSA Corporations, Alaska Native organizations, and other federal agencies providing agriculture services to Indians.
- (c) The education committee established under § 166.900(c) of this subpart will coordinate and implement the program nationally.
