County extension reports expand 4-H programming, volunteers and plans for camp
Summary
A county extension representative reported outreach to thousands of residents, growing 4-H activities, new equipment and volunteers, and staffing changes including a forthcoming family and consumer sciences specialist position.
A representative for the university extension office updated the board on 4-H programming in Weston County, describing outreach numbers, volunteer contributions and upcoming events.
The presenter said the extension office has reached about 3,600 individuals through programming and that the county’s support leverages additional campus and neighboring-county resources. The report highlighted recent 4-H activities including robotics, visual arts, archery, shooting sports and other youth projects; volunteers were singled out as essential to programming.
The extension representative said three new sewing machines and storage for the archery range were acquired, and that plans for summer camp registration and expanded regional collaboration are underway. The extension is recruiting a family and consumer sciences specialist who will spend 20% of time on county extension work.
Commissioners thanked the presenter; no formal action was taken.
