CLINTON, Ill. – Is your teen ready to get out and have some fun? Then they don’t want to miss this chance to engage with other teens, hang out with a purpose, and become part of the team that sets the pace for those around them. 4‑H civic engagement programs empower teens to be well-informed citizens who are actively involved in their communities.

DeWitt, Macon, and Piatt 4-H Teen Hangout will be at 6 p.m. on May 2 and 11 at the DeWitt County Fairgrounds, 740 Old Highway 51 North, Clinton. This is a great opportunity for your teen to socialize and network with teens from surrounding areas.
