4H Youth Programs partner with NRA Youth Programs


Recently, the NRA Youth Programs Department met with Glenn Applebee, the new head of 4-H Youth Programs, to discuss NRA’s ongoing support of the 4-H Youth Shooting Program.

Applebee is a lifelong NRA member and shooter and was actively involved in 4-H shooting sports when he was with the cooperative extension at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y.

According to Applebee, 4-H recently formed a new, national-level youth shooting committee. As the two new chairpersons of that committee — Mississippi’s Suzy Holder and Michigan’s Tom Coon — settle in to their new assignments, the longstanding relationship between the NRA and 4-H shooting sports will resume.

If you know an organization that might benefit from NRA Youth Programs support, contact Youth Programs Coordinator Chip Lohman at (703)267-1550 or clohman@nrahq.org. Participating groups include American Legion posts, JROTC units, 4-H clubs, FFA chapters, and U.S. Jaycee chapters.
