In this episode of the Cultivate and Connect Podcast, host Charlie Hensley sits down with Kristi Smith, the Peoria County 4-H Youth Development Program Coordinator with Illinois Extension, to explore how 4-H helps young people grow as leaders, communicators, and future agricultural advocates. Drawing on Kristi Smith’s lifelong 4-H experience—from member to volunteer to coordinator—the conversation highlights how hands-on learning, livestock projects, judging teams, and opportunities to try new things can build confidence, life skills, and lasting connections for youth both on and off the farm. Tune in for an inspiring discussion about the role 4-H plays in strengthening agricultural education, community engagement, and the next generation of leaders.
