♦ATTENTION 6th, 7th & 8th GRADERS!
Join us at 4-H Summit! Registrations are due January 22, 2019.
Kentucky 4-H believes that all youth should have opportunities for positive youth development in our four guiding concepts: mastery, belonging, independence, and generosity. Started in 2005, the Kentucky 4-H Summit is held annually at the Kentucky 4-H Educational Center in Jabez, KY. This program is for middle school aged youth who are currently enrolled in 6th, 7th, or 8th grades. This program is designed to develop leadership, citizenship, and communication skills. We hope that through participation, 4-H members will make new friends by belonging to a group, master new skills by participation in dynamic workshops, exert independence in a group-living situation and practice generosity through a service learning experience. This event will be held March 7th-9th, 2019. Please contact the Clay County Extension Office at 598-2789 to receive more information. Limited spots are available.
