Perseverance. Planning. Decision-making. Teamwork. These are skills young people practice every day through 4-H—skills that extend far beyond a project or activity. As a new 4-H year begins, we’re creating more opportunities for youth to take the lead, make decisions, contribute their ideas and work alongside others. Through these experiences, young people are building the skills and confidence to be #4HBeyondReady for Work and Beyond Ready for Life. Enroll today: florida4h.ifas.ufl.edu/get-i…
