Union County 4-H Foundation

Kyle Stokes: 

Kyle is a homeschool junior. He is a student at Shanan Classical Tutorials and SPCC's dual enrollment program.  He has been a 4-Her for 9 years with his brother. He plays piano, guitar, and ukulele. He enjoys making music and drawing digital sketches. He works out of his home as a piano and ukulele teacher.

Kyle started in 4-H when he was 8 years old in the Southern Ark Explorers. There he learned bee keeping, safety, gardening, livestock, and public speaking. He also was able to raise chickens and rabbits, learning valuable skills.  He participated in presentations at the county, district, and state levels.  This allowed him to gain more knowledge on public speaking with topics such as health, music, and history. He gained leadership skills through the Career training programs. The talent showcases strengthened his love of music, gain performance experience and even experience as a judge more recently! 
His dance training includes taking the Southeast Charlotte Youth & Adult Social Dance class twice a month for the past two years. There he has learned the East Coast Swing and line dances. He is thrilled to delve deeper into dance learning the Cha-Cha and Salsa with Miss Karolina. 
Kyle couldn't imagine his childhood without 4-H. He is thrilled to participate in this competition with his fellow 4-Her and friend, Madison whom he has been in the program with all 9 years! He wants to do this to raise funds for a program he knows will help so many youth. He has benefited from these programs for so long, and sees what amazing adventures that can happen when you participate in 4-H.
