A delegate of Bladen County 4-H members attended 4-H Citizenship North Carolina Focus, which was held in Raleigh, North Carolina. The Bladen County delegate returned home from three days in which more than 120 youth and adults representing 48 4-H programs across the state gathered to exchange ideas, gain knowledge and learn through hands on experiences about the importance of being an active and engaged citizen.
Allayah Jarmon represented Bladen County at the June 12-14 conference. Allayah is a member of the Downeast 4-H Club that meets in Carver’s Creek. She currently serves as photographer of our Bladen County 4-H County Council.
Through various conference sessions and facilitated discussions, delegates, like Allayah, learned and shared information related to local, state and national government as well as learned how they could make an impact in the area of citizenship. The event culminated with delegates traveling to the Legislative Building in Raleigh to meet with their elected officials and their staff. Jarmon and our county’s 4-H agent, Stacie Kinlaw visited with Senator Rabon and Representative William Brisson. The pair also got to shake hands with Bladen County native Senator Danny Britt while touring the general assembly.
4-H Citizenship North Carolina Focus is sponsored by North Carolina’s Electric Cooperatives. North Carolina 4-H is Cooperative Extension’s youth development program.
