Share

This spring break, local youth will have the chance to sharpen practical skills, build confidence, and take their first steps toward entrepreneurship at the 2026 Youth Lawn Mowing Clinic.

Designed for students in grades 5–9, the clinic will be held Tuesday, March 17, 2026, and focuses on lawn care basics, equipment safety, and the fundamentals of running a small business.

Two sessions of the Youth Lawn Mowing Clinic will be offered on March 17. The morning session runs from 9:20 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., and the afternoon session runs from 1:20 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Both sessions will be held inside 4-H Hall at the Sedgwick County Extension Education Center, located at 7001 W. 21st Street North in Wichita, at the corner of 21st Street and Ridge Road. Both sessions are the same, so participants need only to sign up for one.

Whether students are already mowing neighborhood lawns or just getting started in their own backyard, the clinic provides hands-on learning that combines lawn care know-how with real-world business skills.

Registration costs $10 through March 9, or $15 after that date. Space is limited, and sessions do fill quickly. Visit our website to register and learn more.
