PUEBLO COUNTY — A group that helps out kids with life skills is being honored across the U.S. this week. It is National 4-H Week.
In Colorado, around 13,000 kids participate in the program. Typically, you would see 4-H members at the state fair or county fairs around Colorado taking care of animals.
But, they also help kids develop other skills, including the following:
- leadership
- photography
- sports
"Coming into 4H really brought me into my own and taught me those public speaking skills, those leadership skills, and I really don't think I would be where I am today without 4-H and especially those mentors and friendships that I gained through it," said Lillian Esterl-Byrne with Pueblo County 4-H. "I think more than anything that's probably the most valuable about 4H."
