Washington County 4‑H youth deliver annual report, highlight mental‑health and absenteeism trends
Summary
Local 4‑H members presented an annual report on youth engagement, cited the 2024 Utah Youth Needs Assessment on mental‑health and absenteeism, and described programs (animal science, STEM, leadership) and local enrollment.
Seven youth representing Washington County 4‑H presented the program’s annual report to the commission, describing how the program builds leadership, confidence and community ties. Presenters cited the 2024 Utah Youth Needs Assessment and said local 4‑H reaches roughly 400 registered students per month in Washington County and offers programs from animal science to outdoor leadership.
One presenter said 4‑H helped her “overcome loneliness” and that the organization’s mix of volunteers and university partnerships supports local programming. Commissioners praised the youth for public speaking and noted 4‑H contributions to workforce readiness and civic engagement.
