Knox County Junior Leaders

| vangundy.44

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.

2020 Buckeye Leadership Workshop

| rees.139

The Buckeye Leadership Workshop for 2020 will be held March 25-29.  Since 1944, the Buckeye Leadership Workshop (BLW) has helped youth and adults develop leadership skills. BLW is a learning and sharing workshop/conference intended as a balanced program of social, physical, mental, and spiritual activities. The workshop also benefits those who simply enjoy associating with great people, experiencing new ideas, and learning new skills.

The mission “enriching life through recreation” has been the stated purpose of the Buckeye Leadership Workshop for more than two decades. From its earliest days, participatory learning has been the focus. Workshoppers, trustees, and instructors leave titles at the door and participate in the workshop in an atmosphere of equality.

Our objectives are:

  1. To educate leaders in the field of organized recreation for community service.

  2. To act as a refresher course for leaders already working in the field of organized recreation.

  3. To share ideas and experiences in media of creative expression.

  4. To develop knowledge and skills in the teaching of recreation, social, and leisure life skills.

  5. To show that true happiness can be achieved through non-commercialized recreation through the spontaneity of the family or small group.

  6. To provide recreation and relaxation for the leaders themselves.
