From fairgrounds to classrooms, community gardens to robotics labs, 4-H youths in Ogle County are proving they’re not just ready for the future, they’re “Beyond Ready”. In Ogle County, 4-H offers numerous opportunities for youths to develop public speaking skills, lead community service projects, raise livestock, explore technology in the workplace, and more. We see that every day in the way they show up to learn and lead,” 4-H Program Coordinator Jodi Baumgartner said. Ogle County 4-H and its team of educators, volunteers, and mentors deliver 4-H programs that help youths learn through hands-on experiences.
