4‑H youth representative urges local support for MU Extension programs
Summary
Katie Wright, a 4‑H youth representative, described University of Missouri Extension programs in the urban west region and asked municipal partners to help promote enrollment, volunteer engagement and local programming.
Katie Wright, who identified herself as the 4‑H youth representative for the Klay County Extension Council, told the board on Dec. 15 that MU Extension provides community education in agriculture, business and health and that volunteers and local councils are essential to delivery.
