    Senior Year- The Story You've Been Building- From First Day of School to What's Next
    2026/08/12

    In this episode of The Extension Connection Podcast, Jessica Jackson, Polk County Extension 4-H Agent, explores how students can begin building their future long before they start filling out college applications. We'll talk about preparing for college, scholarships, careers, and the workforce, and how real-life experiences can help students discover their strengths, build confidence, and find their path.

    We'll also discuss the role of AI in today's student experience, including how young people can use it as a tool while keeping their own voice, creativity, and experiences at the center of their story.

    Plus, we'll highlight the Helen Clark Blackwell Scholarship, provided by the Polk County 4-H Board, and how our community can help support students as they take their next step.
