A 4-H’er from Bladen County attended the sixth annual North Carolina Association of County Commissioners (NCACC) Youth Summit, which was held in Greenville, North Carolina August 21-22, 2015. North Carolina 4-H and the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service partnered for the sixth year with the NCACC on a multi-year initiative to increase youth involvement in county government. This initiative aims to overcome the mindset that many youth are disengaged and lack trust in government.

The 4-H’er who attended from Bladen County was Anna Kate White, a freshman at East Bladen High School. Over 100 youth and adults from 80 counties in North Carolina attended this event. The event is sponsored and supported by the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners. White is the daughter of Kim and De White of Elizabethtown, NC. She currently serves as president of her community 4-H club, the Super Clovers and president of the Bladen County 4-H Council.

For more information on the 4-H program in Bladen County, please contact Stacie Kinlaw at Stacie_kinlaw@ncsu.edu or (910) 862-4591.

The 4-H program is the youth education program of North Carolina Cooperative Extension, based at North Carolina State and North Carolina A&T State universities. More than 232,000 young people ages 5 through 18 participate in North Carolina 4-H activities each year with the help of more than 20,563 adult and youth volunteers.
