Michigan 4-H State Youth Leadership Council welcomes new members

Five youth selected to the council.

The Michigan 4-H State Youth Leadership Council (SYLC) welcomed five new members who will serve a two-year term on the council. Established in 2015, SYLC is a statewide leadership opportunity for Michigan 4-H Youth Development participants ages 15-19. SYLC members serve as representatives of the Michigan 4-H program, promoting 4-H through state and local activities, and provide youth voice and perspective to inform statewide programs and goals. SYLC strives to create an environment where its members can network and share ideas, programs, and experiences with other 4-H members from across the state.

New SYLC members were selected through an application and interview process where they participated in group interviews conducted by a selection committee comprised of 4-H staff and current SYLC members.

  • Dori Battel, Huron County
