Glenn County Youth Celebrate
National 4-H Week: October 1-7
Every year, National 4-H Week sees millions of youth, parents, volunteers, and alumni come together to celebrate the many positive youth development opportunities offered by 4-H. A campaign was created by the National 4-H Council to rally support for Cooperative Extension’s 4-H program and identify solutions to eliminate the opportunity gap that affects 55 million kids across America. The theme for this year’s National 4-H Week was “4-H is a Feeling – I Love 4-H.”
More than a feeling, 4-H provides empowering experiences that create confidence and foster a sense of belonging for kids everywhere. 4-H also provides youth a place to feel valued, heard, and connected. Through various project opportunities, such as quilting, arts & crafts, swine, dairy, archery, and baking to name a few, a space is created for learning, connecting, and belonging. Our dedicated volunteers provide impactful experiences to encourage growth in our youth and to assist in finding their spark.
Glenn County 4-H observed National 4-H Week this year by highlighting some of the inspirational 4-H youth in our community who are working tirelessly to support each other and their communities. The 4-H Program Community Education Specialist, Christine Kampmann, 4-H Advisor Nicole Marshall-Wheeler, and County Director, Betsy Karle, along with 4-H youth members Emily Karle and Jordan Thomas, presented the National 4-H Week Proclamation at the Glenn County Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday, September 26, 2023. In Glenn County, more than 500 4-H youth and 100 volunteers from the community are involved in the 4-H program.
