Welcome Message

Dear Families,

Welcome to the Chemung County 4-H Program. We appreciate that you have chosen to become involved in a program that creates close bonds between members, their families, and leaders. As a member of the 4-H family, you will have an opportunity to meet new people, try new things, learn leadership, citizenship, and build life skills.

Chemung County 4-H has many amazing volunteers helping to make the 4-H program a success. However, your involvement in the 4-H program and 4-H projects is critical to your child’s success. Families help youth establish goals, work toward those goals, develop a sense of achievement and communicate effectively about what they have done. You do make a difference and we are glad to have you in our program.

Please don’t hesitate to call us at (607) 734-4453 if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Sasha Diederich
4-H Resource Educator
