Prince William 4-H

Get your VA 4-H gear in time for Congress!

The Virginia 4-H State Cabinet is conducting an apparel fundraiser, and would like to invite 4-H youth or adults to place an order! There are various shirts, sweatpants, a cap, and visor for sale. Orders are placed on the website and will be directly shipped to you. Deadline for orders is June 17th. See the newsletter for link to order.

Join us in celebrating Prince William 4‑H’er Jacklyn of the Nokesville 4‑H and Trigger Time 4-H Clubs, who was honored with the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) Youth Leadership Award at her 5th grade celebration!

This prestigious award recognizes students who exemplify leadership, responsibility, patriotism, and strong character—including qualities like honesty, loyalty, and trustworthiness. The DAR, a national organization dedicated to historic preservation, education, and patriotism, presents this award to young leaders who inspire others and show a commitment to serving their community.

Jacklyn’s achievement reflects the very best of 4‑H values—learning, leading, and giving back. We are proud to see local 4‑H youth making a positive impact and shining as role models.

Way to go, Jacklyn! Keep leading the way!
