“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 given me the confidence to feel I can accomplish my goals.
— Sydni Specht, Saginaw County
