4-H shapes lives By GINA KINSLOWGlasgow Daily Times Skyler said she would recommend 4-H to everyone.
“It’s not just about showing animals,” she said. “There are so many areas that kids don’t even think about and that’s why they don’t join.” Paula Tarry, Barren County Cooperative Extension agent for 4-H and Youth Development, said that is true. “They can have a wide variety of project areas, including health awareness, leadership, communications, science, engineering, technology, family and consumer science and environmental projects,” she said. Tarry has watched 4-H’ers transform from youngsters into adults through the program. “Most of them become a lot more confident and build self esteem,” she said. “They become better communicators. We often have individuals who are in the workforce now and the employers come by and say, ‘I can tell they were involved in 4-H. .... They are willing to step up and take leadership roles.’”
