Warren County 4-H: January 2018

STARR 2018

Looking for an opportunity to strengthen your leadership skills? Want to meet other 4-H teens from across New York State and have fun? Looking for new ideas to share with your club? Are you often frustrated by other teens who say there is nothing to do in your town?
Then STARR might be the answer for you.

When: April 13—April 15, 2018

Who: Any 4-H member who is thirteen or older and who wants to work on their leadership skills and/or learn more about new programs.

Cost: Generally around $85 (this includes travel, meals while at the event, program materials, and an event t-shirt). The 4-H program does have some funding to pay part of the cost of this program if needed—contact John for more information.

How: Any teen interested in attending the 2018 event MUST complete a Public Presentation in the current 4-H year AND submit a one-page essay indicating which leadership skills they hope to improve or how they might use improved leadership skills BEFORE Thursday, February 15, 2018.

If you are a Warren County 4-H teen and have an interest in meeting new friends, identifying and developing your own leadership skills, and having a great time, then you are strongly encouraged to go
to the STARR! For more information, contact John or Dan at the CCE Education Center at (518) 623-3291.
