4-H Public Speaking Camp!

This past week, Travis and Bastrop County 4-Hers participated in a 4-H Public Speaking Camp. This camp was a 3-day Youth Leadership Program facilitated by Toastmaster and 4-H volunteer, Margaret Cathey. By participating, 4-Hers learned to deliver great presentations, give and receive constructive evaluations, be able to speak off the cuff, and learned to be a better listener. 

It was truly unbelievable to see their progress, and the confidence they gained in just three short days.

Margaret, we are so thankful for the giving of your time and experience! And we are beyond proud of all of our participants!

Travis County 4-Hers include:

- Anna Laura Whitaker
- Clare Whitaker
- Luke Whitaker
- David Higgins

- Noah Higgins
- Olivia Higgins
- Sarah Shaw

The Darden -Caldwell LeadHERship Series for Girls: 2021 Summer Camp

 Greetings ! 

The Texas Juvenile Crime Prevention Center at Prairie View A&M University is sponsoring the inaugural series of The Darden-Caldwell LeadHERship Series for Girls: 2021 Summer Camp named in honor of its alum, Ms. Phyllis Darden-Caldwell.  This one-day virtual conference is solely dedicated to girls in grades 9^th – 12^th and their parents or guardians.    A cadre of dynamic, diverse, competent, exciting, passionate and engaging speakers will talk and generate audience interaction on Leadership, Academics, Social Justice, Health & Wellness and Advocacy.  This series includes concurrent breakout sessions specifically designed for our student attendees, parent/guardian attendees and joint sessions for both.

The Series begins promptly on Saturday, August 7^th, at 9:30 am and ends at 3:00 pm.  We want the girls attending this series to leave believing their lives are filled with possibilities and understand that success is about overcoming obstacles, setting and achieving goals as well as accepting seemingly insurmountable challenges.  And for our parents or guardians; we want them to be empowered with knowledge and resources to effectively engage in their daughters’ epic journey of life. 

To register, please click this link.  Registration deadline is July 26th, 2021.
