Hitting the Mark: Reviving Livingston County 4-H Archery
Author: Sharee Schoonover
Planning Unit: Livingston County CES
Major Program: Natural Resources
Plan of Work: Encouraging youth to become skillful, productive, contributing members of our community.
Outcome: Initial Outcome
The Livingston County 4-H Archery program has made an exciting return, thanks to the dedication of a local teen, Holli Kerr, who served on the 2023-2024 State Shooting Sports Teen Advisory Board. Her passion for archery, combined with her mother’s (Dawn Kerr) commitment to becoming a certified coach, brought the program back to life. Throughout the summer, they held weekly practices every Tuesday, providing consistent opportunities for students to develop their skills.
Their hard work paid off as two students proudly represented Livingston County at the state shoot in September. This successful re-launch not only highlights the dedication to maintaining diverse programming in our county, but also sets the stage for future growth in the 4-H Archery program, inspiring more young archers to aim high!
