Last week, members of Lincoln County 4-H programs from Libby, Troy and Eureka headed to the state capitol in Helena Jan. 21 to meet with legislators to discuss the importance of continued funding for Montana 4-H programs that are included in House Bill 2.

Montana 4-H is the youth development program of Montana State University Extension. MSU Extension is funded in by a cooperative relationship between federal, state and local county support. Montana 4-H is also financially supported by the Montana 4-H Foundation and local 4-H councils and foundations.

The teens spoke to State Rep. Neil Duram about skills they have gained through 4-H, such as public speaking, communication, helping their communities, helping the homeless population and the overall confidence the 4-H program has given them.
