Kentucky 4-H Teen Conference was held at the University of Kentucky in June.  It is a 4 day, 3 night event that helps teens prepare for college life.  The teens stay in dorms at the University of Kentucky, eat at The 90, attend majors and minors in university classroom buildings, and enjoy activities and events at the new Student Center.  The total attendance at this year's conference was 739 people, with 590 of those being teens.  Scott County had 8 delegates.  An additional component of 4-H Teen Conference was a leadership development experience supported by Farm Credit Mid-America, where adults and 4-H youth leaders led delegates through a common leadership experience. All delegates experienced the opportunity to network and belong to a group of individuals, explore personal communication styles, and work in a team environment through a community service project. 75% of 4-H Teen Conference delegates reported feeling connected to their leadership group. Forty-two community service projects were completed with the assistance of a grant through the Bluegrass Community Foundation. Over thirty community serving organizations collaborated with Kentucky 4-H to provide the community service experience of the conference. Some of the service projects were done in Scott County, such as working with Bluegrass GreenSource to paint storm drains or working The Gathering Place Women's and Children Shelter to put together bags for youth in the shelter.  85% of delegates reported feeling like they had the opportunity to give back through the community service project.
