North Carolina 4-H

🎯 Supporting the next generation of agricultural leaders!

The Farm Credit Associations of North Carolina recently held their annual Pull for Youth Sporting Clays events, raising funds to benefit North Carolina 4-H and North Carolina FFA programs.

Over the past nine years, these events have raised more than $890,000 to support opportunities that help prepare young people across North Carolina for the future.

We are grateful to AgCarolina Farm Credit and AgSouth Farm Credit for their continued commitment to youth development and the future of agriculture in our state. Thank you to everyone who participated in or supported this year's events and helped make them a success! 🍀

Please join us in congratulating Dr. Katy Haywood, program associate with the State 4-H Office at NC State, on successfully defending her doctoral dissertation! 🎓

Her research focused on artificial intelligence (AI) literacy and use among rural middle and high school educators, exploring an increasingly important topic at the intersection of education and technology.

Congratulations, Dr. Haywood, on this well-deserved achievement!

As this year's celebration comes to a close, thank you to all the 4-H members, families, volunteers, alumni, Extension professionals and supporters who helped make it one for the history books!

While National 4-H Week is coming to an end, the opportunities to learn, lead and grow continue all year long. Together, we're helping young people become Beyond Ready for whatever comes next! 💚

Let's take a look back! ⏪

Before they became our State 4-H Council officers, they were young 4-H'ers discovering new interests, building confidence and making memories along the way.

As we near the end of National 4-H Week, we're taking a look back at where their 4-H journeys began! Can you recognize them from their younger days? 👀

Pull for Youth would not be possible without the businesses and organizations who continue to show up for North Carolina agriculture. 🎯

A big thank-you to each of our 2026 sponsors for helping make this year’s event possible. Their generosity directly benefits programs through North Carolina 4-H and North Carolina FFA Association, creating more opportunities for young people to learn, lead, and grow.
