It’s a light first-week-of-the-year news cycle, so we hit a few local updates, then spend most of the episode with Carlie Newman, Clermont County’s 4-H Youth Development Educator with OSU Extension.
Interview — Carlie Newman
Carlie talks about what 4-H actually looks like today. It’s the largest youth organization in the country, with around 6 million youth involved nationwide, and a goal of reaching 10 million by 2030. We talk Cloverbuds for the youngest kids, how clubs work, how enrollment works, and how 4-H builds confidence by letting kids chase real projects and real responsibility.
We also get into the stuff most people never associate with 4-H. Rockets. Personal finance. Sewing. Genealogy. Dogs. Camp. Shooting sports. Plus how OSU Extension supports the community beyond 4-H, from pressure canner testing to soil sampling to parenting education and youth driver safety programs.
