What is the 4-H Teen Leaders in Action Workshop and how can it benefit you & your county 4-H  program?

·         Teens have an opportunity to build their leadership skills and give back to their community

·         Teens use resources and activities provided to lead activities for new youth 4-H audiences in your local community

·         Teens can share their expertise on topics which they are passionate about and help address real world problems

4-H teen leaders are being sought to help meet the challenge of educating the next generation of young people!!  You will have the opportunity to build your own leadership skills while teaching a fun lesson to other young people on one of these important and timely topics:

 Agriculture Literacy (native bees)
Global Citizenship
Healthy Living
Money Management

Teens attending the training will gain leadership, communication, and facilitation skills that they can use while teaching one of the provided activities.  Teens are able to connect with youth audiences as peers and engage them in learning from a different level than adult educators.  Many teens are passionate about the things they do and learn in 4-H; they are excited to share their knowledge with others.  This workshop allows teens the opportunity to be an expert on a topic and share their knowledge with their peers.
