There are many different teams/groups available for Laramie County 4-H members to participate in. This page will be updated with all county opportunities.
Laramie County 4-H Lettering
As youth leaders in our community, youth achieve a broad understanding of the meaning and the qualities it takes to become a good leader. Youth learn to identify problems and develop action plans to solve them; acquire teamwork and group building skills. Youth also participate in project work that creates real-life experiences that help members take responsibility for their own actions. Members develop good work habits, learn to work with others, share ideas, and help each other. Youth must be an active member in their 4-H Club and participate in community service opportunities. Laramie County 4-H is rewarding these youth for their hard work and dedication to the 4-H program. Attached is the application to apply for lettering in Laramie County 4-H.
Application to Letter – DEADLINE October 15th of the current 4-H year
