“My greatest reward is] having the opportunity to provide fun and educational programs to youth. I love seeing the passion they have for learning new things. It is the best thing in the world to watch them develop as individuals and I am grateful to be a part of their journey.”

Kim Wright is well known in her community as a 4-H volunteer people can turn to for anything. A former Dickinson County 4-H’er herself, Wright is the first to step up and offer a helping hand whenever an educational or event opportunity arises. Whether it is orchestrating livestock clinics, planning the county 4-H fun show, helping coordinate the county 4-H recognition banquet, or developing new 4-H connections, Wright is there to make it happen. This hard work benefits all of Dickinson County, as Wright opens all of her educational activities to any young person in the county, not just those in her club or even those just in 4-H. Furthermore, Wright’s ongoing commitment to raising local funds to support Dickinson County educational opportunities will continue to benefit community young people for years to come.

Through 4-H I have learned so many things that can help me build my confidence. I went from feeling insecure about my disability to being able to tell other kids who have dyslexia that even if it is difficult, you shouldn\'t feel embarrassed about it. Since joining 4-H I can share my experience with dyslexia and help people understand the disability.
