The Michigan 4-H Foundation Board of Trustees spent the past two days at their annual board retreat, reflecting on accomplishments, setting priorities and planning for the year ahead.

A special thank you to Isabella County 4-H for hosting the board at the Isabella County Fair last evening. We appreciated the warm welcome, delicious meal from the 4-H Food Stand and the opportunity to learn more about the county’s 4-H program. Board members especially enjoyed meeting the 4-H Royal Ambassadors and talking with 4-H youth about their projects, experiences and the impact 4-H has had on their lives.

Thank you to the dedicated volunteers who generously share their time, talent and expertise to ensure Michigan 4-H youth continue to have opportunities to learn, grow and thrive. The future is bright because of the young people, volunteers and supporters who make 4-H possible every day. 💚🍀
