As young people turn five years old, they can enter the world of 4-H as a Cloverbud. Little do their guardians and themselves know that 4-H will make the next 14 years fly by. Those 14 years allow youth to experience many opportunities under the supervision of a positive youth role model. Some of those opportunities may be going to 4-H Camp, showing livestock, or giving a ham speech. The opportunity to track these experiences through a KY 4-H Achievement Application lets 4-Hers and their families and 4-H administration see the body of work that a 4-Her has put into for 10 years.
In the 4-H Program year of 2022-2023, we marked the first participation of Menifee County 4-H in the KY 4-H Achievement Program. Four achievement applications were turned in for the competition, a promising start for our program. After state judging, one Gold, one Bronze, and two Clover 1 levels were achieved, a testament to the dedication and hard work of our 4-Hers. When asked how 4-H has influenced them, one 4-H’er eloquently stated, “It has influenced me to be a better thinker, innovator, loyal, kind, and service-minded leader.” This response not only reflects the impact of our program but also instills a sense of anticipation for the future as we look forward to more such inspiring stories and achievements from our 4-Hers.
