Being Inclusive with Gender Pronouns
Would you like your 4-H club/group to be more inclusive and welcoming? Not sure where to start? Join us and learn what gender pronouns are in a safe space!
Using someone's correct gender pronouns is one way to show your respect for their identity. We will introduce pronouns you may not be familiar with and practice using them in a no-judgement zone! This session will be led by Brian Juchems, co-director of GSAFE and advocate for LGBTQ+ youth, and supported by members of the 4-H LGBTQ+ Expanding Access committee.

Flower Vase about 6-10" tall. Prefer wider bottom and narrow top
Marbles, rocks, or sand etc for weight in bottom of vase
Dried weeds, flower stems, etc anything you would like to add to use in doing an arrangement. Be Creative!! Can use grasses, or what you find growing along roadside or in your own flower beds.

Taming the Voices in Your Head
Have you ever caught yourself silently thinking something like “Why bother?” or “Why are they so stupid?” If so, you are hearing a voice in your head. Sometimes that might be a kind voice and sometimes it is a not so nice voice. In this workshop, you will learn some life changing techniques to morph those voices into ones that help you manage your life, now and long into the future. These techniques have been taught to leaders in business, the nonprofit world and government for several decades and are relied upon by effective organizations all over the country.
