National 4-H Week.....Once a 4-H'er, Always a 4-H'er
Share a favorite 4-H memory or photo and tell how 4-H has continued to impact your life.

My 4-H journey started when I joined the Milk & Money 4-H Club with a dairy heifer project. Francine, a Holstein heifer, was my first project but Tinkerbell (Guernsey pictured below) was my favorite....... Those early experience with 4-H instilled in me the idea of Hands to Larger Service......after graduation from Virginia Tech, I moved to Madison County and began volunteering with the local 4-H program.....the 4-H Agent position opened up and I took the chance to come back to my 4-H roots!

Thankful Thursday is here!
Behind every successful 4-H experience is someone who gave their time, encouragement, and support.

This National 4-H Week, we celebrate the volunteers who make a difference in the lives of young people across Virginia.

Thank you for teaching, encouraging, leading, supporting, and believing in our young people.
