Junior
Jr. Council is for Boone County youth ages 13-18. These youth help promote 4-H club work in Boone County and represent Boone County on the state and national level. Jr. Council gives youth an opportunity to have fun while making new friends, building leadership, and communication skills through participating, planning, and putting on various activities for the county and themselves. Just like other clubs, Jr. Council has officers, committees, community service activities and fun activities (just for teens)! Jr. Council is run by its members, and is advised by 4-H leaders and an University Extension staff member.
All Boone County youth ages 13-18 may join. Youth may join Jr. Council anytime of the year. Meetings are held at the same time as Sr. Council meetings, on the 4th Tuesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. in the Boone County Extension Office.
