The Harrison County Teen Council works to establish opportunities of personal growth for middle and high school students.  The club focuses on soft-skill development, including communication, motivation, creativity, accountability, and dependability.  34 youth from 6th-12th grade attend monthly meetings, annual leadership opportunities, become a counselor at environmental and summer camp, as well as complete local civic and community service responsibilities.  2021 will bring exciting opportunities, as four youth will be heading to the Presidential Inauguration in Washington D.C., as well as 10 participants will be studying abroad in Peru with the Kentucky 4-H International Program.  Both activities require two-year commitment from all members.  Youth are currently organizing a 4-H Culture Club for middle school students to share their experience and development.  Those attending provide presentations for all Harrison County District Board and County Extension Council meetings.  The Harrison County Teen Council has helped to develop 18 bronze, 14 silver, 8 gold, and two emerald achievement winners over the past 5 years.  In addition, members have held President and Secretary positions on the District 4 4-H Teen Council, as well as National FFA Vice President, Gracie Furnish.
