“The greatest reward in being a 4-H volunteer is seeing young kids set goals and help them accomplish those goals. Also, very rewarding is seeing young people become very passionate about the agriculture industry.”

Stacy Hough has been a 4-H volunteer since 2010 from the project areas of horse, beef and dairy science to small animals, goats and gardening. She has a passion to teach youth agriculture and as such teaches dissection and other science learning activities with her club. She also organizes 4-H dairy booth at the county fair. Additionally, she encourages youth to take on leadership roles at the county, state and national levels and lends a helping hand as needed.

4-H has helped me overcome anxiety and build confidence in myself and my abilities...It has taught me how to be responsible, dependable and compassionate—qualities I use every day. Through 4-H, I’ve learned that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference in the world around me, and it’s given me the courage to lead, speak up and make an impact in my community.
