Our Teen Leadership club provides unique opportunities for our youth to grow and develop life-long skills. Recently, one of our members incubated chicken eggs and once they hatched, he brought the chicks in to meet other club members and presented a PowerPoint presentation on the process of raising healthy baby chickens.

Support our 4-H Teen Leadership Club and enjoy a night out with the whole family at the Florence Y'Alls game! Tickets are just $13 each and a portion will go towards future leadership opportunities for these 4H youth.

This Friday, May 29 at 7:03 PM. Get your tickets here: https://www.ticketreturn.com/prod2new/GroupPortalPEC.asp?HoldID=26937&SponsorID=19439&EventID=356372
