Ryan Brown, Warren County teen, joined the 4-H Shooting Sports Program at 9 years old.  While at shooting sports camp for the first time, a 4-H leader inspired him that he could do anything if he worked hard enough and that he would always have a support system in the 4-H shooting sports program.  Since that first moment of inspiration, Ryan took on various leadership roles within his club- treasurer, reporter, and president of his club. He became a certified teen coach in rifle and archery. Now, he is a 4-H Shooting Sports Teen Ambassador.  This past spring, Ryan taught over 100 participants in the archery discipline at shooting sports camp. He professes that he developed the skill of public speaking over his years in 4-H. Ryan states “I have been able to run meetings and give presentations to our 4-H shooting sports club as well as the public. One of my recent presentations was at the KY Volunteer Forum; I learned how to better address a crowd and how to keep my presentations interesting and enjoyable”. He also states, “My life would be unrecognizable if 4-H shooting sports wasn’t a part of it. The strengths of public speaking, work ethic, and my passion for sharing shooting sports would definitely not be as prevalent in my personality without shooting sports.  I want to show others the great opportunities that lie within the 4-H shooting sports program.” Janet Turley, Warren County 4-H Youth Development Agent is the contact agent for the 4-H Shooting Sports Program and has encouraged Ryan to take on significant leadership roles within his club.
