Frontier Extension District 4-H Radio Spot

Your help is needed!  The Frontier Extension District 4-H Program has a ten-minute radio spot on KOFO 1220 AM/103.7 FM that airs every Wednesday at 6:40 a.m.  All 4-H members are invited to share 4-H experiences, upcoming community service projects, club happenings, etc.  It is a pre-recorded program.  Several 4-H members have enjoyed participating.  This would look great in a KAP.  Contact the Extension Office to sign up.  

4-H Citizenship Washington Focus (CWF) is a week-long summer program in Washington, DC where high school students learn about government and citizenship.  CWF is more than a Washington, D.C. field trip – it’s an opportunity for 4‑H’ers to learn how to be citizen leaders and make a difference in their communities.  The next delegation will be Summer 2022.  Delegates are selected early so funds may be raised and decisions can be made.  Frontier District 4-H members, 15-18 years of age by January 1, 2022, are eligible to apply.  Interested members must complete an application and be approved.  Applications are due April 1, 2020.
