In Elko County, Brenda Brace is working to identify what is needed most in rural communities. Her goal is to work with local law enforcement to follow up with the victims of domestic violence to ensure they are not only given necessary resources, but are also able to support themselves long term.

Meet Vicki Tybo, our new 4-H Youth Development Program coordinator!
Vicki has already started recruiting new 4-H volunteer leaders and expanding the program.
She has lived in Elko County for two years. For the past year and a half, she's worked for Intertribal Council of Nevada as a domestic violence advocate. She’s trained dogs for twenty years, and has worked as a veterinarian technician and at an animal shelter.
Vicki’s agriculture and ranching roots run deep. She grew up on a ranch, and she and her husband own a small cattle ranch in Butte Valley, Nevada.
Vicki appreciates the value of 4-H. She participated in the program as a youth, and she was a volunteer leader when her three daughters were 4-H'ers.
Welcome to the team, Vicki!
