Finding Your Spark - A Youth's Perspective for Parent and Youth

Yoga Tools for Youth


Ocean Breath

For most of us, breathing is an automatic process that we hardly notice. However, the simple act of inhaling and exhaling can have a great impact on our mood and thoughts.

Deep breathing has long been used as a relaxation technique, and it's helpful for both children and adults.

Teen Council News


Teen Council is a county wide group for 4-H members age 13 years and older. The Council’s purpose is to provide leadership and direction during county wide events such as the Annual Banquet, 4-H Day, Style Revue and so on.

 

Members also plan and participate in educational/social events. Some past activities have included a Tour of MakeICT, a Halloween party, and Minute to Win it Games!

 

Teen Council is a GREAT place to meet new people and get involved. We realize that with busy schedules you probably cannot make every meeting, but we welcome you to participate when you can!

 

Not sure if Teen Council is for you? Do you have more questions?


Come join us at our next meeting and see what you think!

4-H Project Curriculum


There are lots of resources out there to help 4-H members with their projects. Of course, the library is always a great place to start, but there is lots of 4-H curriculum out there. Go to https://shop4-h.org/to view all the 4-H curriculum that is available. If you are curious about what the content might look like, call the Extension Office. More than likely we have a copy of the curriculum in our office that you can check out to review to determine if you want to purchase it or not. If you have other questions, ask your club leader or call the Extension Office.

One thing you might want to try is delegating! Whoever said you had to be Ms./Mr. Super Organizational Leader? Have you ever heard of sharing the load with the Parents’ Committee?
