New Surry County 4-H Agent!


Happy Fall Y’all! My name is Whitney Sprinkle and I am thrilled to introduce myself as the new Cooperative Extension 4-H Agent for Surry County. I am a graduate of the University of North Carolina Wilmington with a Bachelor of Science degree in Community Health Education and a minor in Psychology. 
I am a Surry County native and have had the privilege of living in several of our towns in the county including Dobson, Elkin, and Mount Airy. I grew up participating in 4-H events and have a passion for youth development and making a difference in the lives of our youth in Surry County. It is so refreshing to come back to the place you grew up and be able to give back to the community that you love.
I am excited to begin my career as your 4-H Agent and look forward to creating new experiences with each of you through the years! Continue checking our blog to receive updates about upcoming events and ways to get involved in Surry County 4-H! Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have at whitney_sprinkle@ncsu.edu or by contacting the Surry County Cooperative Extension office at 336.401.8025.
