Robeson County 4-H

  AIRE looks like we are about to talk about astrological signs.  Actually in the world of 4-H stars AIRE stands for Application, Interview, Resume, and now instead of essay Electronic Video.  This is a state 4-H program that is the precursor to going on trips such as National 4-H Congress, National 4-H Conference, and International Leadership Conference.  Youth competitively compete utilizing all four components of the process and those with the highest scores in the end win the opportunity to attend one of these great opportunities.  To take part in the program and vie for a trip youth must be between 14-18 years of age and be a 4-H member.   This year we are proud to say that 4-H Member Maggie Underwood, County Council reporter and member of the Dirty Rascals JMG 4-H Club and Dirty Dozen Shooting Sports 4-H Club submitted her application, a resume, completed her electronic video and just this week went through the interview process.  We hope to hear...

  Please see the article below written by Shea Ann DeJarnette, 4-H Extension Agent for the Robesonian and Robeson Journal.  This article may also be found on the NC Cooperative Extension, Robeson County Center website. We have been sitting on this news since February, waiting for a lot of approvals. Now we have them, and I have the distinct honor to tell you, Robeson County 4-H has an app! I can hear the responses now from, “How cool!” to “Who doesn’t?” and even the “Oh no, not another app.”  I understand each and every one of those responses. Let me give you a little background, so you can see why we have an app. For starters, the Robeson County 4-H Program is the first in the state of North Carolina to have an app. I guess you could say, we are the first to plant the seed.
