SULLIVAN COUNTY, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) – Being a part of 4-H has a different meaning for everyone.
Sullivan County’s 4-H Youth Development Extension Educator Cheryl Casselman said that there is truly something for everyone in this program.
“Some counties have 60 to 80 different projects,” said Casselman. “Animals are a big part of 4-H, but it doesn’t have to be your 4-H.”
Casselman said that it is a great foundation to try and figure out what your true passions are.
“It doesn’t always mean that what you explore in 4-H will be something that you do later, but it is really great ground to explore careers and hobbies,” said Casselman. “If you learn that you don’t like it, that is something just as important.”
North Central High School student and 4-H member Bayleigh Wright is a junior leader and participates in rocketry and shooting sports. She said that 4-H has provided her the skill set for the next chapter of her life.
“Learning skills that I can use for the rest of my life,” said Wright. “I think that it is important for people to learn these skills as it truly teaches you some crazy things.”
Wright said that those on the fence about joining will be welcomed with open arms.
“There are a lot of fun things involved,” said Wright. “There is really nothing to worry about because everybody there is very welcoming and accepting of everybody.”
