Success StoryNRESci Tybee Island



NRESci Tybee Island

Author: Rebecca Hayes

Planning Unit: Carter County CES

Major Program: Natural Resources

Plan of Work: Environmental Education

Outcome: Initial Outcome

The Natural Resources and Environmental Science Academy is a statewide 4-H program. Carter County has four members and one ambassador. I got to chaperone one of our members and the ambassador, along with the rest of the academy members that chose to attend on their Tybee Island trip.

I have chaperoned all of the trips since I have become an agent and have gotten to know my members so well. This Tybee trip has allowed me to get to know other county youth and develop positive youth-adult partnerships with them.

Myla, Clark County 4-H member, said that I made her "feel safe and comforted while she is away from home." Knowing that I was able to make this kind of impact on this youth within the first 24 hours of the five-day trip was very heartwarming.
