Local 4-H Group of Teens Receive Top Honors at State Conference

The Pennsylvania 4-H County Council Awards program was established to recognize outstanding achievement of 4-H teens who are taking part in their local County Council and is made possible through the National 4-H Tractor Supply Paper Clover Campaign partnership.

Components of the award application include reporting on a minimum of three S.M.A.R.T. (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound) goals that were established by the teens to be completed from January of the current year until October of the current year - when the award applications are due. Councils are also strongly encouraged to provide supporting documentation such as promotional materials, meeting agenda, photos, and a yearly meeting calendar.

Members of the Chester County 4-H Teen Council that submitted the application included:

Suzanna Angstadt of Coatesville, Kaitlin Bell of Nottingham, Lily Bramm of Pottstown, Gianna Emmons of Newtown Square, Celia Johnson of Elverson, Zachary Johnson of Elverson, Olivia Macomber of Elverson, Aaron Phillips of Elverson, Melinda Stoltzfus of Coatesville, Emma Uhlman of Exton, and Mary Wirtel of Malvern.

The Chester County 4-H Teen Council, also commonly referred to as a County Council, is a group of Chester County 4-H members, ages 13-18 years old. This elite group of youth provide input into the county-wide 4-H programming, plan and implement county-wide activities, and provide leadership opportunities. The Teen Council members serve as ambassadors of the 4-H program and are positive role models for younger 4-H members.
