Volunteers Make It Happen!

4-H could not do what we do without the help of our amazing volunteers!  You hear 4-H agents say it time & again, but it is true. 

One of the things that I could not do is conduct our 4-H Summer Fun program without the help & support of our wonderful teen volunteers.  These are 4-H'ers who want to spend their time each summer working with younger kids to develop their interests, character & skills.  These youth do not get a paycheck, but they are rewarded by the achievements of the younger 4-H members who they help during the summer. 

Last weekend, three of the teenagers who helped last year got a more tangible reward for their efforts.  They decided that they wanted to take a trip to Ripley's Aquarium in Myrtle Beach.  Let me just say that when teen 4-H'ers are given a choice of where to go and pick something education AND fun, it makes me smile:)

Logan Northcutt, Sarah Tyler and Hannah Webb traveled to the Aquarium for the day, and even made a quick stop at the beach on the way back too.  They are excited to again volunteer to help with 4-H Summer Fun this year.  If you would like to join them as a volunteer, simply call the office to schedule a time to come in for training. 

Once again, we would like to SMILE & say a BIG THANK YOU TO ALL WHO MAKE 4-H WHAT IT IS!  To see the rest of the pictures we took - check here!
