Hunt County 4‑H ambassadors present community service projects and report 320+ yearly service hours
Summary
Eight Hunt County 4‑H ambassadors and three mentors appeared before the Commissioners Court to summarize outreach projects — including poultry, goats, photography and creative arts — and reported over 320 combined service hours for the 2025–2026 year.
Mary Shockley, Hunt County 4‑H coordinator and family and community health agent with Texas AgriLife Extension, introduced eight county 4‑H ambassadors and three mentors during the June 9 meeting. Each youth gave a brief presentation describing project work, community outreach and their goals for 2026.
Ambassadors described activities ranging from poultry education at local elementary events and volunteer vaccination work to photography documentation of county events, holiday meal drives and mentoring of younger members. Emma Martin, the photography ambassador, said she contributed 65 service hours documenting 4‑H events and was chosen as a Texas 4 photography ambassador.
Mary Shockley told the court the program contributed more than 320 service hours in 2025–2026 and asked for the court’s recognition and a photograph for the record; the court obliged and thanked the youth for their community service.
