9 4-H Dance Due to lack of involvement, there will be no 4-H dance during fair this year. Achievement Day 2017 Saturday, November 4 at 3:00 pm Junior Leader Program Volunteer Opportunity There is has recently been some interest in starting a Junior Leader group that is separate from our teen leader/camp counselor program. Junior Leaders is a great way for youth ages 12 and older to get together, learn leadership skills, develop friendships, and have fun! We are currently looking for an adult to lead this group. Junior leader meetings might include team building games, event planning, making plans to help younger members, or planning social events for older 4-H members in the county. If you would be interested in leading or helping to lead this group please let Sara know. We have some resources at the office to help you get started. If you enjoy helping and working with teenage youth this might be a great opportunity for you!
