Local teens are meeting weekly to teach a variety of technical and computer skills to adults in Cathlamet and Naselle. Lydia and Ruth Blalock, Grace Hunt, and Micah Johnson are Wahkiakum 4-H members who are part of a national 4-H program called 4-H Tech Changemakers.
4-H Tech Changemakers are 4-H members who deliver a variety of technical workshops in rural communities across the U.S., on topics like internet safety, video conferencing, and password security. At each workshop, youth teach short lessons and offer one-on-one support for questions with phones, tablets or computers.
