Junior Leadership Lab – TBD, November 2016
The goal of Junior Leadership Lab is to prepare intermediate age 4-H’ers from the 18 counties in District 9 for leadership roles that may beat the club or county level. The hope is that participants will take information back from lab and share it with members back in the county. 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. Fun time is set up with activities that build team work and camaraderie in the district.
The registration fee covers 1 night of lodging, all meals, program activities, insurance, and curriculum. The attire is school appropriate (casual) but remember to bring warm clothes as many activities are held outside.
4-H Office will pay for half of the registration fee for Montgomery County 4-H members who register by the deadline. Register on 4-H Connect by October 11, 2015. For more details, visit http://d94-h.tamu.edu/eventsandcontests/junior-leadership-lab/
