The winning demonstration, “The Homeless in Jefferson County: I Can Make a Difference,” was one of more than 100 illustrated talks presented to judges recently in Morgantown. 4-H members from 22 counties took part in the annual competition, which is organized by the WVU Extension Service. 4-H is a world leader in developing youths to become productive citizens and catalysts for positive change to meet the needs of a diverse and changing society.
