Our 4-H Ambassadors have done a wide variety of community service projects the past two years. On April 14, 2022, we celebrated their hard work with a fun and educational trip to The Greenbrier due to the generous support of various donors. The youth had the opportunity to do a historical walking tour, a tour of the Bunker, a visit to the President’s Cottage, lunch at Drapers, and afternoon tea.
The 4-H Ambassadors will hold their next meeting on May 7. Youth will work on a community service project making dog and cat toys for a local animal shelter as well as spend time working on their Learning to Lead 4-H project. The meeting will conclude with time spent fishing at Beech Fork Marina. To learn more about age requirements and other information, please call 304-272-6839.
