05/31/22
2022 DISTRICT 10 4-H LEADERSHIP LAB REGISTRATION CLOSES TONIGHT

 

Hey all!

We wanted to send some quick information for the District 10 Leadership Lab for this year since registration has opened!  This is an incredibly fun opportunity for youth ages 13 and older to get to meet and interact with other youth in the District, learn leadership activities and skills, and to potentially run for additional leadership positions! We are also excited to be attending the camp with District 6, so we'll get to meet some new people.

If you serve in a youth leadership role (teen leader, club officer, ambassador, etc) we HIGHLY encourage you to attend this event. As a reminder, our County Council officers are required to attend and will be there with me as a chaperone, along with several other County Agents in our District.  Additionally, the 4-H Council offers a reimbursement of 75% of the cost of registration for youth who register for and attend the event.  If you have any questions about this event, please let us know!!

Please note that registration closes tonight at midnight for those who would like to attend and participate this year.

Check out the following information and links and let us know if you have any questions!  We will be emailing those who qualified for contests this week to make sure they get registered; however, anyone can attend invitational contests!!  This is a great opportunity to see if you like that contest, see the Texas A&M Campus, and check out some of the statewide things that happen in 4-H!!
 

EVENT DESCRIPTIONS:

  • Texas 4-H Roundup is a qualifying and invitational event for Senior 4-H youth (9th-12th) who placed in a district level roundup or signed up to compete in one of the invitational events. The Texas 4-H Roundup has around 50 diverse competitions that tie in with the many projects that 4-H has to offer.

  • LEAD Academy is designed to engage youth in hands-on educational activities in which they explore, practice, and master existing and newly developed skills and knowledge in civic engagement, civic education, and personal development. It is an opportunity for volunteers to sharpen their skills to help them while working with the 4-H members in their clubs and projects. Volunteers can connect and network with other volunteers and parents.

 PREVIOUS BROADCAST EMAIL:
 
The following email has been sent to all 9th – 12th graders through 4HOnline broadcast email. Hopefully this email helps everyone find the event they are looking for.

Also at the bottom of this email you will find parking information which was not available when I sent the county agent email out earlier this week.
