Congratulations to Addyson Dailey, member of the Country Critters 4-H Club, who has been selected as a member of the 2026-2027 Ohio 4-H Teen Leadership Council! 🍀👏

The Ohio 4-H Teen Leadership Council (TLC) is a statewide group of 4-H teens and young 4-H alumni that provides a youth stakeholder perspective in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of Ohio 4-H programming. In this process, council members develop knowledge, skills, attitudes, and aspirations needed for future success. Council members share advice and recommendations to 4-H professionals to improve, strengthen, and expand the Ohio 4-H program. Members also make recommendations regarding opportunities for Ohio 4-H teen programming. They serve as a sounding board for Ohio 4-H program direction.

To be selected as a member, teens must apply and complete an interview. Addyson will participate in planning events such as the Ohio 4-H Conference Teen Luncheon and Ohio State Fair project evaluations. We are so proud of Addyson for this huge 4-H accomplishment!
