Colbert County 4-H

National 4-H Council, which exists to support national initiatives and local 4-H programs through fundraising, storytelling, and convenings, recently visited Auburn University’s campus to observe and collaborate with Alabama 4-H during its Midwinter Teen Leadership Retreat.

Jill Bramble, president and CEO of National 4-H Council, said, “I think Alabama 4-H is going to be a model for the rest of the country. Alabama shows it is possible for multiple land-grant universities to work across a state to reach all young people and meet them where they are.”

During the visit, the National 4-H Council presented a crystal clover to Auburn University President Christopher B. Roberts in appreciation for serving the nation’s youth. Auburn First Lady Tracy Roberts and 4-H Assistant Director Casey Mull, in turn, presented Bramble with American and 4-H flags, both flown overseas aboard a U.S. Air Force MQ-9 Reaper in recognition of National 4-H Council’s continued support of the 4-H Military Partnership.
