Objective:
To prepare intermediate age 4-Hers from the 18 counties in District 9 for leadership roles. These roles might be at the county level or their clubs. The hope is that participants will take information back from lab and share it with members back in their counties. The lab is set up to be enjoyable and fun, but there is work too. The sessions require participant involvement and concentration. Ages 11 to 13 are encouraged to attend. Play time is set up with activities that build team work skills and camaraderie in the district.
What is a teen leader?
Teen leaders are needed for District Jr. Leadership Lab. If selected as a teen leader, you will serve in a teaching role for one of the sessions or a facilitator for group games or ice breakers. If you are selected you will be contacted with details regarding you session.

Celebrate the 100th anniversary of the American Extension Service with this 4-H Poster. Twenty-four posters from state and national 4-H celebrating National 4-H Week make up this historical timeline of 4 -H in America.
Each poster was originally sponsored by the Coats and Clark Company which range from the mid-1940’s to late 1970’s and reflect a changing 4 -H program in America.
The posters are only $5.00 each and can be purchased from the Texas A&M AgriLife Bookstore (Item # 4-H-003) at www.agrilifebookstore.org. The posters are limited, so order today before this bit of history is gone.
