In Episode 17 of the Discover Ocala podcast, host Valerie Dailey sits down with Crystal McCazzio, Extension Agent III, and Katie Davis, Extension Agent I, to explore the impact and opportunities of the UF/IFAS Extension 4-H Youth Development Program in Marion County. Serving over 1,800 youth annually, the 4-H program offers engaging experiences for young people ages 5 to 18, helping them develop leadership skills, pursue their interests, and connect with peers and mentors across the community.
Marion County’s 4-H is a standout on both state and national stages, with participants earning recognition and scholarships, traveling the country, and gaining hands-on skills through a diverse range of clubs and programs. From leadership and scholarship opportunities to national competitions and community involvement, the program provides invaluable experiences that extend well beyond the classroom and the county.
Discover how youth in Marion County are building futures through this dynamic, volunteer-supported program and learn how to get involved, whether as a member or a mentor!

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
