A Letter from your Beaufort 4-H Agent

Meghan Barkley-Waller, 4-H Youth Development Agent

Dear 4-H Families and Volunteers,

It has been a true privilege to serve as the Beaufort County 4-H Agent over the past several years. I am incredibly grateful for the experiences, friendships, and memories we have shared through our many 4-H adventures. As I prepare to begin a new chapter after May 22nd, I will carry these moments with me and cherish the time we spent learning and growing together.

As with any transition, there may be questions and adjustments along the way, so please do not hesitate to reach out if you need clarification or assistance during this time.

At this time, some agent-led 4-H programs may be postponed until further notice unless volunteers are identified to provide interim leadership.  Beaufort Junior Leadership will pause for the 2026-2027 school year.  We hope to reopen the program during the 2027-2028 year.  If you are interested in helping lead a program temporarily, please contact the extension office as soon as possible. I also encourage families and members to stay engaged through statewide 4-H projects and regional events during this transition period.

For any 4-H needs following my departure, please feel free to reach out to:

Ashley Burns, State 4-H Program Team Leader

Thank you for allowing me to be part of your 4-H journey. I am so proud of our Beaufort County 4-H members and all they have accomplished. I will continue cheering you on from afar as you continue to make the best better!

With gratitude,
Meghan Barkley Waller
