I Get Paid to Do This!

So, 4H! I grew up in what may be considered a "Hick" town. For those who are unaware of the meaning of the word, I have tapped into the best resources to help us! From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hick may refer to:
–noun 1. an unsophisticated, boorish, and provincial person; rube. –adjective 2. pertaining to or characteristic of hicks: hick ideas. 3. located in a rural or culturally unsophisticated area: a hick town.
Anyway! Or Anyways...whichever you prefer...

Growing up in Snowflake I was a proud participant of the 4H program, which, for all I knew was about raising pigs, steers, sheep, and rabbits. Raise a pig, sell it at the County Fair auction, put the money in the mission fund....done deal! This program is all about raising youth!

Only recently I found out about the 4H Mentoring Program(Youth and Families with Promise). I then got excited about it and became a coordinator in charge of recruiting youth to participate in the program, involving their families. I also recruit volunteers to be a role model and mentor for the youth. My job is to make sure that my site, or elementary school that I preside over, has 20-30 families and the same amount of volunteers participating in the program. I am in charge of running an afterschool program for the kids once a week. Our Non-profit organization puts on 2-3 fun and exciting activities a month to promote stronger family bonds.

Our most recent events included: Comedy Sportz (an impromptu act), goofy golfing, ultimate frisbee, a rock wall climbing event, and always, lots of food!
