The beginning of a new school year is here, and this is time families may be looking for new opportunities for their child. This time of year can also be a great time to get involved in something you have never experienced, 4-H.
I’m what we call a first generation 4-Her. Meaning, my parents were not involved with 4-H as youth. However, after seeing my cousins in the program, my mom signed my brother and me up as soon as we were old enough. In Kansas, that is age 7 through 18 by January 1. We participated as family and I enjoyed it so much, I made a career of it as your County Extension Agent.
