Ben, Lily, and Peyton are here on CloverCast: Sunburnt to talk about 4-H opportunities at the state level. On this episode, they share their experiences and insights at state events. These include the State Conference, State Recognition Day, and more! While speaking on their favorite events, they also include lots of insider information to help you when you hopefully participate in these opportunities for yourself. Be sure to tune back in on July 15th for the next episode where we will talk about National 4-H Opportunities.

2. To reach current 4-H’ers and potential 4-H’ers through thoughtful, informational, and personal discussion centered around 4-H learning opportunities and experiences.

3. To provide State 4-H Council members the opportunity to grow themselves personally and professionally as they take part in and learn about each step of the podcast production process.
