Christian County 4-H is welcoming its new 4-H Youth Development Program Coordinator. Taylor Pope is a graduate of the University of Illinois Springfield and a past member of the Montgomery County 4-H Club. Pope has experience coordinating events for youngsters as she got her start creating activities for SNAP-eligible audiences.

Both Taylor Pope and Sara Marten, County Director are ready for the busy summer season, now with a fully staffed team.

As Pope is no stranger to creating engaging activities for 4-Her’s, she reminisces about one popular health program that would make appearances.

Sara Marten says that being a past 4-H member is not a requirement for employment with the Christian County 4-H coordination team, but it helps understand the wide range of topics, and the commitment and passion that is needed.

Taylor Pope and Sara Marten appeared as guests on the WTIM Morning Show.
