Volunteer Conference of Southern States
Volunteer Conference of Southern States is being held virtually this year. I hope you and your 4-H volunteers will join us September 24-26, 2020 as we "light the way". Registration is open and can be found here:
4-H Entertains is not your typical competition activity. The acts are selected for skill, content, entertainment value and to create a well-rounded show. This year, the event will be virtual. Entries will be due to Lauren in the Guilford county office by 5:00 PM on September 18th.
The 4-H Southern Region Teen Leadership Conference is going virtual September 24-26, 2020. The Conference will happen during the evenings of September 24th and 25th along with throughout the day on September 26th. There will be several opportunities for youth to engage in workshops and learning opportunities from youth and adults across the Southern United States. There will be no cost to participate in SRTLC this year and it is open to youth ages 14-18. To register, contact Sarah or Lauren in the 4-H office.
Fall 4-H Opportunities
The state 4-H Office has put together some great opportunities this fall! Make sure you check them out!
Nature Adventures is a 7-part series of 45-minute educational sessions for the fall semester developed and taught by professional Environmental Educators from North Carolina's premier 4-H Camps. This program is provided for FREE for teachers and families.
Due to changes happening at the state fair offices, we will need to ask participants to submit a new registration which uses a different software (Blue Ribbon Fair) than what we have previously used to register.
