🍀 How It Started ➡️ How It’s Going 🍀
In 1998 Tia started her 4-H journey. What began as a childhood activity became a lifelong journey of learning, leadership, service, and agriculture. Over the years, she attended 4-H camp, became a 4-H camp counselor, served on Junior Fairboard and Junior Leaders, showed rabbits and market ducks, earning both Grand and Reserve Champion.
At the time it was fun, but looking back she can see how much those experiences taught her. 4-H taught her that leadership is about more than holding a title. It’s about serving others, working together, showing up, and giving back to the community.
Today, 28 years later, she gets to put those lessons into practice as the Agriculture Program Assistant with the WVU Brooke County Extension , helping create opportunities for the next generation.
4-H has made her Beyond Ready. 💚🍀
Happy National 4-H Week!
