Incentives & Recognition

Incentives & Recognition is a way to recognize the youth in our 4-H program for the hard work they do through projects, public speaking and community services. 

We are always looking for parents, 4-H leaders and teen youth to get involved with this I&R committee.  

If you are interested in joining the I&R committee contact Julie Katawicz, 4-H program rep. at jkatawicz@ucanr.edu or 831-205-3180.
