Youth Benefit from 2009 Indiana 4-H Congress Luncheon

More than 150 4-H Junior Leaders learned about the National 4-H SET initiative -  “Science, Engineering and Technology” (SET) during a seminar in Danville, Indiana on Saturday, October 10.  The 2009 Indiana 4-H Congress welcomed 4-H Junior Leaders from across the state for a day-long leadership training program highlighted by the annual 4-H Accomplishment Scholarship awards luncheon at the Hendricks County
4-H Fairgrounds and Conference Complex.

Dean of Agriculture at Purdue University, Dr. Jay Akridge, opened the general session with a keynote address motivating the youth attendees to pursue education and careers in the crucial areas of science, engineering, and technology. Youth and adult participants then attended three one-hour sessions related to 4-H SET. They received information and materials that will allow them to share the sessions with those in their home communities.

 

Premier sponsors of the 2009 Indiana 4-H Congress were CountryMark and IceMiller. In addition, more than 30 businesses, corporations and individuals provided funding for the Indiana 4-H Accomplishment Scholarships which were awarded to 29 4-H youth for outstanding individual achievement.

"Through 4-H I have learned the rewards of volunteerism far outweigh the pain of the work. I want to continue volunteering and giving of myself throughout my life." - Amy Wenning

"The projects I have taken required a great deal of time and hard work. This has, in part, shaped the work ethic I have. It has taught me the value of doing something well." - Sarah Haase

Loan Programs available for College Juniors and Seniors

The Indiana 4-H Foundation has two loan programs available to 4-H alums that are currently juniors or seniors in Purdue University programs. The funds have been endowed in memory of Dr. Robert Amick, a career extension professional, and in honor of the Myers Family, a 4-H family of many generations. Applications are accepted at any time and repayment is delayed until after graduation. Apply today through either of these programs.
