Last week, in one of our Juntos 4-H sites, at Jackson County, we graduated our 5th cohort of youth! ?????? They completed our six week workshop with their parents, where they learn about importance of family communication, making education a family goal, and the transitions from middle school to high school and onward! They also created an action plan to prepare for their future goals! This session was the graduation and celebration of them for their commitment and hard work! Big congrats to the Jackson County Juntos 4-H Team (Iveth, Richard, and Molly) and special thanks to Roberto Gallardo, Ph.D. for coming to visit and speak to our families!
