Teen Council is the county 4-H leadership organization for teen 4-H club members. Its purpose is to help teen 4-Hers develop leadership skills, while helping to build a strong, county 4-H program that benefits all members and volunteers. Teen Council members meet regularly to plan and implement 4-H educational programs, as well as community service and social activities. Being chosen as a Teen Council member entails the acceptance of “great” responsibility and A TOTAL COMMITMENT TO THE CARBON COUNTY 4-H  PROGRAM. We need people who are not afraid of people or work.
