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.

I joined Foodcorps after I graduated high school which was also the same year I aged out of 4-H. It helped prepare me in so many ways! From public speaking, teaching classes, lesson planning and giving me a good sense of independence.





















What is one other way TiLT has helped you? (Ex: public speaking, making friends, learned something new, etc.)







TiLT also helped me to work collaboratively! Asking different resources to achieve the same goal!

















Tell us a little bit about you, now! What are you doing and where are you? What are your future plans, etc.?

I spent the last two years with Foodcorps teaching healthy living, farm-to-table practices, and sustainable farming. I’m currently 9 months pregnant and just enjoying my life. I also earned over $6,000 worth of scholarship money that I will be using in the upcoming spring semester for either marine/nature conservation or culinary arts.
