Beth Clark

County: Shiawassee
Class Years: 2019-20
Title:
"My most rewarding experience as a 4-H leader was starting the Livingston County Livestock Judging Team. In the very first year of the program, the students on the team were able to win the state 4-H judging contest and was high team overall divisions."

Only a leader for a short time, Beth Clark has already made an impact. Driving 4-H’ers to opportunities when their parents are unable and creating educational worksheets to teach members about swine, sheep and beef cattle are just two examples of her willingness to go above and beyond.

She has created a program in which she encourages youth to engage with individuals and businesses to explain the importance of their swine projects to Shiawassee County and to gain necessary communication skills. She has assisted many of her club members in winning various awards such as Youth Sportsperson of the Year, the Mark of Excellence Competition and the Sweepstake Competition.

Because of 4-H I can be who I want to be. I am grateful for having the opportunities to do what I love.
