Meet Eva Joly!
How it started: Eva joined 4-H in Chittenden County at age 8 through her love of horses. As a member of the Flying Hooves, Starry Nights, and Whispering Pines clubs, she explored projects in leadership, equine, small animals, STEM, community service, and more. Along the way, she built lifelong friendships and had the honor of representing Vermont at regional and national events, all while embracing the 4-H lesson she still carries today: “If you’re on time you’re late, and if you’re late you’re left.” Mary Fay
How it’s going: Today, Eva studies the biology behind medical conditions that personally impact her. She credits 4-H with giving her the confidence to try new things and pursue her passions. Looking back, her advice to her younger self (and to today’s 4-H’ers) is simple: Take advantage of every opportunity!
