Lizβs 4-H story!
ππ§‘ I was involved in Elko County 4-H for 5 years as a youth. I participated in sheep, rabbits, poultry, dog, and Fashion Revue. Joining 4-H allowed me to find a voice I never knew I had and make friends that I never would have met otherwise. My 4-H experience inspired me to make many of the decisions I made later in life, throughout my career, and I am so honored to have the opportunity to work with our awesome Elko County 4-H youth!! π§‘π
πShare your 4-H story below in the comments! π
π Itβs 4-H Spirit Day, make sure youβre sporting your 4-H gear today!!π
