TiLT Volunteer Spotlight: Katlyn Toney

TiLT Overview

To highlight our Teens in Leadership Training (TiLT) program, we're spotlighting some of our current and former volunteers, learning about their involvement in the program, and seeing how their experience has continued to impact them. Brunswick County 4-H TiLT youth volunteer teaching program trains youth volunteers ages 13-18, to deliver in-school, after-school, and summer programs that teach healthy living, STEM, good stewardship, and environmental awareness of the resources in Brunswick County. See our 4-H Teens in Leadership Training page for more information about the program.

We had a lot of laughs in TiLT & took trips to some pretty cool places. I always enjoyed teaching the younger children, they always made it worth the hard work.

When did you serve in TiLT?

2013-2017.

What is your favorite memory from serving as a TiLT volunteer?
I cannot chose a favorite. We had a lot of laughs in TiLT & took trips to some pretty cool places. I always enjoyed teaching the younger children, they always made it worth the hard work.










How did volunteering with TiLT help you when choosing a college or career path?
Volunteering with TiLT did not help with the choosing of my career but it has definitely helped me with skills I use everyday. It helped with general confidence in myself, being able to speak in front of a group of people & how to be a great leader while still being yourself.








 What is one other way TiLT has helped you? (Ex: public speaking, making friends, learned something new, etc.)
TiLT has helped me with public speaking & confidence. We always learned something new whether it be about a new teaching subject, something new about our peers, or something new about the community.
