Year in Review 4-H & Youth Development by AgriLife's Johanna Hicks – frontporchnewstexas.com

Happy New Year from your County Extension Staff
As we ponder the events of 2022, there are many good things that took place, along with some not-so-good, but by-golly, we made it!  I pray for a good start to 2023 and that you will look up from where your help comes.  As I wrap up my columns for 2022, I’ll conclude with a final program summary – the 6^th in a series!
4-H & Youth Development – Family & Community Health
Relevance:
The Texas 4-H Youth Development Program exposes 4-H members to the academic discipline of family and community health (FCH) and helps youth gain valuable skills and knowledge which they can apply to daily life – projects such as clothing and textiles, food and nutrition, consumer education, health, leadership, community service, and safety.  One of the top 4-H projects in Hopkins County is Foods & Nutrition.  During workshops, contests, and other functions, 4-H members are given leadership and community service opportunities.
Response and Results:
Three Hopkins County 4-H’ers served as Healthy Texas youth Ambassadors, which means they participated in training on various topics and agreed to give back service to the community.  One was active in community service projects, 4-H contests, served on district and state 4-H council, participated in leadership events, and will soon be participating in the Wester National 4-H Fashion Show.  This individual provided 95 hours of service.  A second HTYA contributes a weekly column to the Sulphur Springs News Telegram and has assisted with a county Extension Leadership event.
In addition to these, Cumby ISD is participating in Edu-Nation and the Rural School Success Initiative.  They receive support and guidance from the state 4-H headquarters.  4-H is the largest youth organization in the nation for good reason.  We touch many aspects of life including family & Community health,  agriculture, leadership, photography, public speaking, community service, communications, and much more.
