News & Events

Tune in to ABC the evening of Thursday, May 24 to the new television show Duets and watch Jennifer Nettles, 4-H alumna, talk about the impact 4-H has had on her life and career.

The photo at right is from National 4-H Council’s 4-H Legacy Awards Gala in April. Jennifer Nettles is pictured performing with members of Georgia 4-H's Clovers and Company.

Thank you to Georgia 4-H, especially National 4-H Council Trustee and Associate Dean for Extension Beverly Sparks, State 4-H Program Leader Arch Smith, and former Council Trustee Bo Ryles, for helping make this happen.



Gregg Switzer, technology coordinator from Montana Extension, is coming to Alaska!

This training will be a great opportunity to learn about 4-H Robotics and provide new ideas for existing programs. Learn and explore this exciting hands on science engineering and technology program. Teens and adults welcome, fee and times announced later. Information for purchasing robotics kits will
also be available.
