On December 2 Club officers attended the countywide training. Youth got to know each other by participating in a few icebreakers and games. Special thanks to Teen Leaders for helping lead icebreakers and games.

This year’s officer training featured a guest speaker Kelsey Beine, Campbellsport 4-H Alumni, who presented during the general main session of the training.  She focused on gratitude, affirmation, and motivation.  The youth learned how to apply these in their everyday life as well as in their officer roles.  Kelsey set aside time after learning about each of them time to practice. 

After Kelsey’s presentation, officers broke out into groups by officer positions learned more about the job responsibilities, and were able to ask questions.  The training ended with a mock meeting and pizza.  Some feedback shared was: “I appreciated the presentation part.” “My favorite part was the Mock meeting.” Another youth shared they enjoyed writing a thank you note during the workshop to a leader to show their gratitude.

Clubs represented at officer training were: Armstrong, Brandon Tanagers, Busy Bees, Campbellsport, Helping Hands, Ledgers, and Weeping Willow.
