Knox County Junior Leaders (JL) is a great stepping stone for older 4-H youth looking to get involved beyond their local club. Junior Leaders will participate in various meetings, learning opportunities and events while also enjoying the comradery of their peers. The JLs are just as much about connecting and having fun as it is learning life skills. This is great way for youth to “practice” leadership roles before diving into an intense commitment like Junior Fair Board or Camp Counselors. JLs are 4-H members of good standing in 7-12 grade. JL participation looks great on award and ambassador applications for both county and state level. The application link below details more perks of JL membership.
We will be having a winter mixer on Dec 29, 6:00-8:00pm at the Ramser Center. Pizza and board games will be provided for this fun, relaxed meet-and-greet event. Any 4-Her, in grades 7-12, is invited!! Feel free to bring a favorite game with you!
While not required for the meet-and-greet, those interested can go ahead and fill out the application to be a JL using the link below.
