The University of Maryland Extension has welcomed Jamie Kenton as the new 4-H youth development educator in Washington County.
Kenton holds a master’s degree in education from Towson University, and has more than 20 years of experience working with youth in a variety of settings.
Kenton began her new position as the 4-H youth development educator on Jan. 9.
The 4-H movement supports young people from elementary school through high school with programs designed to shape future leaders and innovators.
Kenton encourages parents and youth to get involved with 4-H.
“Whether you live in a city, suburb or rural area, there is something for all youth,” she said.
