Follow-up from Kansas 4-H Ready, Set, … 2026 Webinar

Submitted by Sarah E. Maass

A big thank you to those who joined us for the Ready, Set, ... 2026 webinar to kick off the new 4-H year.  We hope you found the information provided to be beneficial. 

This message includes the slide deck with multiple resources hyperlinked for your convenience.  Additionally, there are several resources listed below that we did not discuss in the webinar that you might find helpful. 

One thing we did not cover in the webinar was that an updated version of the 4-H policy will soon be available.  The hyperlinks will all be updated with the website rollover from earlier this year. 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to any member of our State 4-H Team.  We look forward to working towards our goal of increasing our programming reach by 10% (traditional & non-traditional).
