🍀💚Happy National Volunteer Week! 💚🍀

Washington County 4-H is incredibly grateful for the dedicated volunteers who give their time, talents, and heart to support our youth. Because of you, young people in our community are learning valuable life skills, building confidence, and growing into the leaders of tomorrow.

Thank you for the early mornings, late nights, and everything in between. You make a lasting difference, and we couldn’t do it without you!

We would like to introduce everyone to our 4-H Youth Development Program Assistant for the summer, Riley!🍀

Riley will be hosting various day camps and classes all throughout the summer! Be on the lookout for upcoming event flyers here on our Facebook! 👀

Hi everyone! I wanted to introduce myself 😊

My name is Riley, I grew up doing 4-H, which is where a lot of my love for agriculture started. I’m happiest outside or working with my hands—whether that’s fishing, gardening, cooking, or doing embroidery. I really enjoy anything that lets me be creative but still practical.

I also love animals, and I’m usually finding some kind of project or hobby to keep me busy. I’m excited to be here!
