It's no secret that students in 4-H have a lot of work to do during the year such as projects and community service work, and a local extension office recognizes their student's commitment. 

On the WHOW Morning Show Monday Henry Craft, 4-H Youth Development Educator with the University of Illinois Extension for DeWitt, Macon, and Piatt Counties told Regional Radio they hosted their Achievement Night in early November. 

4H-ers apply for these awards starting in August. Craft notes there are awards at the county and state levels. 

Craft mentions that for some students, the awards are a big motivator for the work they do throughout the year, but many others just enjoy the impact of serving their community.
