"I love being the 4-H agent & working with such a great group of young people. Many youth & volunteers are like extended family. I feel it is important for youth to have positive experiences & to feel like they belong. 4-H provides many opportunities for youth to be a part of something special. I hope that I can help to make as big an impact on the lives of youth today as was made in my life as a 4-H member."
