Teens are stepping beyond ready and into action with our Being a Leader Program, a dynamic experience designed to help young leaders discover their voice, grow their confidence, and lead with purpose.
Presented by Kathleen Bohde of the Purdue Extension Office of Hamilton County. Participants will dive into hands-on activities and small group discussions that spark creativity, build leadership skills, and connect them with other motivated youth. Whether you're a natural leader or just beginning to explore what leadership means to you, this program is the place to stretch your skills, be heard, and find your spark.
Hamilton County 4-H is a youth development program that empowers young people with the skills they need to lead for a lifetime through hands-on learning in areas like leadership, citizenship, science, and healthy living.
