4-H Goals Sound A Lot Like Broadband Goals!

Brooklyn McClard and Jade Ellis are just two of the many youth who have been impacted by 4-H in our service area. They both are thriving in their individual interests of sheep showing, lamb projects and public speaking. Through technology they stay connected with 4-H friends they meet from many other places, preview livestock they consider buying via the Internet, and are already reaching out to universities who share their 4-H interest.
“I’m very proud of Brooklyn, she sees her sheep projects as part of her achievements. The 4-H reward is more than awards she has won; she is with a great group of people who inspire each other,” says Melanie Ellis, her mother and an NCTC associate.
“We think the public speaking Jade is learning in 4-H is helping her learn how to build confidence and stand up like a leader. She enjoys meeting 4-H kids. They have many things in common,” believes Jeff Ellis, Jade’s Dad. Jeff is also an NCTC Associate.
