Christian County 4-H is welcoming its new 4-H Youth Development Program Coordinator. Taylor Pope is a graduate of the University of Illinois Springfield and a past member of the Montgomery County 4-H Club. Pope has experience coordinating events for youngsters as she got her start creating activities for SNAP-eligible audiences.
Both Taylor Pope and Sara Marten, County Director are ready for the busy summer season, now with a fully staffed team.
As Pope is no stranger to creating engaging activities for 4-Her’s, she reminisces about one popular health program that would make appearances.
Sara Marten says that being a past 4-H member is not a requirement for employment with the Christian County 4-H coordination team, but it helps understand the wide range of topics, and the commitment and passion that is needed.
