Minnesota 4-H held the Southwest BLU leadership retreat on March 2 at Southwest Minnesota State University, Marshall for 52 youth from across our region including 19 counties. Murray County participants were Lydia Erb, Sophia Gaul, and Jayda Hellewell from the Lakers 4-H Club and Brylei Schreier, Currie Poco-a-Poco 4-H Club.
“The SW BLU leadership retreat was one of five 4-H events offered this winter to Minnesota youth in grades 6 and up,” said Jacquie Lonning, Civic Engagement & Leadership Director at the University of Minnesota Extension Center for Youth Development. “4-H uses these retreats to help youth learn valuable leadership skills they can apply in their communities and make connections with people from other parts of the state.”
