NASHVILLE, TENN. (RFD NEWS) — As the school year wraps up, many young people are preparing for summer opportunities through organizations like 4-H, where hands-on learning, leadership development, and community involvement take center stage.

In their conversation with RFD News, Paschall and Boone highlighted how 4-H projects, camps, and leadership events provide youth with opportunities to grow skills, build confidence, and get involved in their local communities.
