View Comments Some members of the 4-H Fireballs are shy and quiet when they join the club but gradually gain confidence with the encouragement they receive from their co-leaders, Richford residents Michelle Quail and Danielle Hayes. The once-shy children and teens gradually lose their fear of public speaking and eagerly step behind the podium whenever they get the chance. “Now they’re loud and proud,” Hayes said. Helping students gain public speaking skills, confidence and organizational skills are what motivates the two women to lead their 4-H group. 4-H is the youth development program of Cornell Cooperative Extension of Broome County, helping young people between ages 5 and 19 gain knowledge, experience and practical skills. Everything they learn and do relates to the 4 H s: head, heart, hands and health.
