About 4-H
Alabama 4-H young people learn, lead, and make a difference.
Growing True Leaders
State 4-H ambassadors and advisors did not let COVID-19 stop the annual Midwinter Teen Retreat. Instead, they planned a virtual Midwinter Teen Retreat that allowed 4-H members from across the state an opportunity to participate via Zoom. A total of 131 youth from 39 counties attended virtual Midwinter Teen Retreat on February 5–6. Virtual Midwinter was the highest attended virtual 4-H event for Alabama 4-H.
“COVID has done everything but stop the Alabama 4-H state ambassadors from putting on a spectacular Midwinter. This year has certainly been different, but the state ambassadors have worked hard to give the event of the year to 4-H’ers. Our ambassadors executed Midwinter wonderfully.” – Colton Cook, Alabama 4-H State Ambassador President
