What does 4-H offer you as a teen?
4-H has offered me a lot of opportunities and endless friends. I’ve 
learned that no matter who you are there are possibilities to have a strong future.
4-H has inspired me to work harder and has helped me be a leader and tutor at my school. I’ve liked learning about college and career options. I know I can do anything I set my mind to.
Missy, 16, Kititas County
4-H teaches me what I need to do as I get older. I want to 
be an engineer.
4-H helps me talk with people more and get involved in different activities. It’s really fun.
