🍀 Indiana 4-H Day at the Statehouse 🍀
What an incredible day celebrating youth leadership, civic engagement, and the impact of 4-H across Indiana! Our Hancock County delegation had the opportunity to visit the Statehouse, connect with state leaders, and see firsthand how decisions are made that impact our communities.
We were honored to hear from guest speakers including Indiana State Department of Agriculture Director Don Lamb and State Representative Beau Baird, who shared how 4-H helped mold their leadership journeys and shaped the paths they are on today. Hearing real stories about where 4-H can lead was powerful for our youth!
👏 Help us celebrate our Hancock County 4-H’ers, Devon Kelley and Tyelar Kihlstrum, who represented our program with professionalism and pride throughout the day.
💬 We’d love to hear from you:
• Have you ever participated in 4-H Day at the Statehouse?
• What leadership skills did 4-H help you build?
• Drop a 👏 below to cheer on these youth leaders!
Thank you to everyone who helps make experiences like this possible. The future of Indiana leadership is bright! ⭐
