Hello! My name is Miss Stephanie, and I am the new 4-H youth development agent for Fairfield County. As part of Clemson University Cooperative Extension Service, South Carolina 4-H supplements traditional K-12 classroom learning through hands-on demonstrations and projects in five major areas:

– Natural Resources

– STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math)

– Agriculture and Animals

– Healthy Lifestyles

– Civic Engagement and Leadership

My personal favorite subject area is natural resources. I grew up in Ohio, raising turkeys and collecting bugs in my backyard. I have a bachelor’s degree in Zoo and Wildlife Biology and recently acquired a Master of Science with an emphasis in environmental education and interpretation.

4-H serves youth through in-school demonstrations, full-family workshops, and clubs comprised of peers with similar interests. The direction within the five program areas is guided by the needs and interests of the community’s families. If you would like to share your opinions regarding future programs, please take our five-minute interest area survey. Share your thoughts through the survey link that matches your relationship to 4-H (student, parent, or community member) or stop by my office.

I look forward to serving the community as we learn together by doing. I am grateful for the citizens of Fairfield for their ongoing enthusiasm and support for these endeavors. If you are interested in sharing your passion and knowledge of topics such as sewing, gardening, or fishing with local youth, please contact me.
