(Atlantic) Katie Bateman is no stranger to the 4-H program, and that knowledge will serve her well as she steps into her new role as the Youth Programs Coordinator at the Cass County Extension Office. Bateman began her role as Cass County Youth Coordinator in Mid-May, and has jumped right in to working with youth, parents, volunteers, and partners across the county.
The Youth Program Coordinator role is a full-time position, with responsibility for youth outreach programming and 4-H program management in Cass County. Katie’s first month on the job has been a flurry of activity with livestock weigh-in and entries, county fair preparation and summer daycamps and programming.
Katie is a graduate of Atlantic High School and was active in the Cass County 4-H program throughout her early years, serving in leadership roles at the club and county level. She remained involved in college.
