The 4-H mission is to help youth reach their full potential, working and learning in partnership with caring adults. Our local 4-H Teen Club holds high regards throughout our community for their continued civic engagement and leadership.
Impacting others in a time where social interaction is limited has been a continued challenge. A challenge that Muhlenberg Countians have worked tirelessly to overcome. Missions have been created, committees have been formed, and movements have been made. Spread Hope Instead was created by a group of local community members desiring to reach those in our county to spread hope. The 4-H Teen Club partnered with the Hope Grows committee to complete their mission. Yellow represents hope. Yellow bows were distributed throughout Muhlenberg to local businesses, organizations, and community members by our teens. Now, as you drive through the county, you will see the color of hope hanging proudly on doors, windows, and signs. A small movement to encourage a large impact.
Retaining hope during an ongoing era of uncertainly is something we can all benefit from. Eighteen 4-H teens utilize their leadership skills to inspire others, even in times of restrictions, delivering over 130 hope bows.
