The Michigan 4-H State Youth Leadership Council (SYLC) recently welcomed six new members who will serve a two-year term. Established in 2015, SYLC offers a statewide leadership opportunity for Michigan 4-H Youth Development participants age 15-19. As representatives of the Michigan 4-H program, SYLC members promote 4-H at both state and local levels, while also providing youth perspectives to help shape statewide programs and objectives. SYLC aims to foster an environment where members can connect, share ideas and exchange experiences with other 4-H members across Michigan.

The new SYLC members were chosen through a selection process that included a written application and individual interviews conducted by a selection committee comprised of 4-H staff and current SYLC members. Applicants were also required to provide a reference to be considered for the council.

  • Coral Butler
