Join us in welcoming Katelyn Francis, who recently joined 4-H Youth Development Agent in Boyle County! 🍀

Katelyn earned her bachelor's degree in Animal Science from Morehead State University in just 3.5 years and is currently pursuing a master's degree in Agriculture Leadership, Education, and Communications at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. She is passionate about helping young people develop confidence, leadership skills, and opportunities for lifelong success through 4-H.

When she's not working with youth, Katelyn enjoys reading, photography, traveling, spending time with her horses, and playing with her dog. Fun fact: she's traveled to nine different countries!

We're excited to have Katelyn join Kentucky 4-H and look forward to the impact she'll make with Boyle County youth and families. 🟢⚪️

As another Kentucky 4-H Camp season comes to a close, we're reminded of the lasting impact camp has on Kentucky's youth. Each week, campers stepped outside their comfort zones, tried new experiences, built confidence, and formed new friendships. 💚☘️

For the fourth year in a row, Kentucky 4-H set a new attendance record, with 14,453 participants experiencing the magic of 4-H Camp this summer.

This achievement would not be possible without the dedication of our camp counselors, volunteers, Extension professionals, families, donors, and the Kentucky 4-H Foundation, Inc. . Thank you for making these life-changing opportunities available to thousands of young people across the Commonwealth.

Parents and guardians, what was your camper most excited to tell you when they came home? Share your favorite camp story in the comments! ⬇️
