Walla Walla youth came prepared thanks to their participation in a Livestock Judging Series that ran from November through March. Throughout the series, members focused on evaluating\u00a0a different\u00a0livestock species each month while also developing their presentation and communication skills through oral reasons. This preparation helped youth gain confidence in both their knowledge and their ability to clearly explain their decisions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Livestock judging is one way 4\u2011H youth live out the 4\u2011H pledge using \u201cmy head to clearer thinking.\u201d Through judging, youth build valuable life skills such as critical thinking, decision making, communication, planning and organizing, character, and confidence. Walla Walla County 4\u2011H livestock members look forward to continuing to grow and test their skills at future judging events. <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n

During the Waitsburg Hometown Christmas, club members partnered with the local Waitsburg FFA chapter by decorating Christmas cookies and a festive Christmas tree for the annual celebration. This project was a wonderful example of youth organizations working together for the good of the community. When 4\u2011H and FFA come alongside one another, youth see firsthand the power of collaboration, shared leadership, and service beyond their own clubs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Service\u00a0didn\u2019t\u00a0stop with the holidays. In\u00a0March, the Waitsburg Corral Wranglers organized and carried out a\u00a0food drive for the Waitsburg Resource Center, helping support local families and neighbors. Through this project, youth saw firsthand how their time, effort, and compassion can make a real difference close to home.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By responding to community needs, the Waitsburg Corral Wranglers are learning that leadership means showing up, serving others, and honoring the communities that support them throughout their 4\u2011H journeys. These youth are not only building skills for the future, they are becoming caring, engaged citizens today and beyond ready for the future. <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n

During the Waitsburg Hometown Christmas, club members partnered with the local Waitsburg FFA chapter by decorating Christmas cookies and a festive Christmas tree for the annual celebration. This project was a wonderful example of youth organizations working together for the good of the community. When 4\u2011H and FFA come alongside one another, youth see firsthand the power of collaboration, shared leadership, and service beyond their own clubs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Service\u00a0didn\u2019t\u00a0stop with the holidays. In\u00a0March, the Waitsburg Corral Wranglers organized and carried out a\u00a0food drive for the Waitsburg Resource Center, helping support local families and neighbors. Through this project, youth saw firsthand how their time, effort, and compassion can make a real difference close to home.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By responding to community needs, the Waitsburg Corral Wranglers are learning that leadership means showing up, serving others, and honoring the communities that support them throughout their 4\u2011H journeys. These youth are not only building skills for the future, they are becoming caring, engaged citizens today and beyond ready for the future. <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n
