County Impact Statements - Sharp County
"Power of YOUth"
Sharp County 4-H has been growing over the past several years. We currently
have just over 100 youth involved. Youth can be involved in anything from
aerospace to veterinary science and anything you can think of in between.
There are a lot of opportunities for the 4-H’ers once they get involved in
4-H on the county level - bluebird workshop, county poultry barbecue, community
service projects, county O’Rama, poultry chain and the county fair. Sharp County
youth also participate in many district and state activities such as forestry
and wildlife camp, Ross photography, district 4-H outings, district and state
horse show, teen challenge camp, leadership forum and the list goes on and on.
School programs are a very important part of our curriculum. The county
agents get into the schools whenever possible to do a program to fit into the
students’ current studies.
None of the above would be possible without our volunteer leaders, parents,
and teachers. All who give of themselves time and time again for the sake of the
youth in our county.
4-H members county-wide teamed up with the Master Gardeners to
make Mother’s Day planters.
