Third Thursday Together - Overcoming Your Inner: Addressing Imposter Syndrome with Dan Faill
Have you ever felt out of place, like you don’t belong? Maybe you’ve been elected to serve an organization and don’t feel like you’re qualified, or you're waiting for the other shoe to drop, and people will find out you're a fraud. Turns out, you’re not alone. A study from the Journal of Behavioral Science found that 70% of people feel like an imposter at some point in their life. Let's dive into understanding that little annoying voice that tells us we're not good enough, or not ready enough, or just not enough in general while giving mindset tips and tricks you can use for the rest of your life.
Register now for our session, Thursday, October 19 at 2 p.m. EST

The opportunity to serve as 4-H Camp Counselors in 2024 is now open! Feel free to reach out to Mrs. Laura about this rewarding opportunity if you have questions about commitment, how much fun it is, the application process, to learn about the 5 4-H Centers where you/ your 18+ child can serve.

The application for those WITHOUT prior experience as counselors in the Georgia 4-H summer camping program can be found at the link below. The deadline for submitting Form A is Friday, November 17, 2023. Please keep these points in mind:

To comply with UGA student worker guidelines, all counselors are required to be enrolled as a student in both the semester before and after the summer they serve as a counselor. The student worker enrollment requirement is satisfied by enrollment in high school or at least half-time enrollment at any institute of higher education (in-state, out-of-state, technical college or school, private school, USG institution, undergraduate or graduate school).

Prospective counselors should not complete this application if they do not intend to be enrolled as a student during the 2024 spring and fall semesters as described above.

Proof of enrollment may be required before applicants are hired as counselors.

Georgia 4-H summer camp counselors must have graduated from high school, and we greatly prefer that applicants have graduated by Sunday, May 26, 2024, to serve as a counselor in our program.
Potential applicants who graduate high school after this date please contact me by email BEFORE completing Form A.

4-H Military Partnership Academy

The 4-H Military Partnership Leadership Academy is designed to assist Extension professionals working with military-connected youth to understand themselves as leaders, others as leaders of an organization, and leadership at the community level. The focus connects leadership concepts to work with military-connected audiences and increases the participants’ capacity to enhance programming across the enterprise. Participants will engage quarterly at in-person sessions and connect virtually between meetings to best prepare for each upcoming training.

Shannon McKain, 4-H alumnus
Kansas 4-H alum, Shannon McKain joined 4-H at the insistence of her mom, also a 4-H alum. Living in Kansas City, she took her cat to show at the county fair and hasn't looked back since. Whether 4-H project work, living on a raft in the Everglades or kayaking a river for miles, Shannon rallies to meet a challenge. This RALLY mentality is adaptable and one for us to adopt and share with our military-connected youth and families. Join Shannon for our keynote presentation as she shares her five-step method to figuring out where you are, what hurdles are blocking your way, and how to effectively overcome them to achieve your personal and professional goals. The RALLY mentality to infuse your programming to meet the needs of both the youth and adults you work within your program. To learn more about Shannon, visit her website.

Join us tomorrow to hear from Shannon by registering for the free 4-H Military Partnership Conference at https://www.4-hmilitarypartnership.org/4-h-military-partners-conference.html
