Local 4‑H students to present at national 4‑H Ignite in Washington, D.C.
Summary
Box Elder County 4‑H youth told commissioners they were selected to present workshops at the national 4‑H Ignite conference; projects include an inclusive 'I Wish I Had a Horse Camp' and a working‑ranch program connecting ranching with modern technology.
Several Box Elder County 4‑H members told the commission they had been invited to present workshops at 4‑H Ignite in Washington, D.C. Kennedy Richards introduced the delegation and described Ignite as a national leadership event where youth present workshops, teach others and develop leadership skills.
Josie Ormond described a workshop called 'I Wish I Had a Horse Camp,' created in Box Elder County six years ago to teach children without horse access safe handling and basic care; Kelly Adams described a 'boots, brands and butts' workshop connecting traditional ranching with modern technology such as virtual fencing. Bryn Kaye emphasized that presenting at a national conference helps rural programs show national impact and builds youth confidence.
Commissioners praised the programs and offered county tokens and pins for the participants to take to Washington; travel dates were noted and staff offered logistical support.
