According to the recent Community Needs Assessment, Woodford County youth need more opportunities to prepare themselves for the workforce. One such soft-skill necessary for a successful career is organization and writing. In an effort to provide such an opportunity and encourage Woodford County 4-H Youth to participate in the state 4-H Achievement program, a workshop was provided. Participants not only spent time learning about the Achievement application but also were able to begin work on their applications with assistance from the 4-H Agent. In all, eight youth submitted Achievement applications, with one bronze award one and one Clover Level 5 being achieved.
