Monday, October 6th, 2008 -- 12:05 PM
This is National 4-H Week.Sarah Medick, Youth Development Agent in Clark County, says 4-H is focused on personal growth of its nearly 6-million youth members. Clark County?s 4-H is especially active.
"4-H in Clark County is comprised of 22 4-H clubs. We have 359 volunteers helping with these clubs and 711 members," Medick says.
4-H members self-govern their clubs.
"They decide what they want to do... what they want to be involved in," she notes, "They have a 4-H leader that guides them, but it's really all about the youth and what they want to get out of their organization."
If you?re interested in having your children participate, you can contact your local UW-Extension office. Here in Clark County, the phone number is 743-5121.
