As a member of 4-H, I learned how big the world is and how much a part of that world I am. My mind was opened socially, and my self-confidence changed because 4-H allowed me to connect with Extension staff, local volunteer leaders, and 4-H members across the nation as it relates to food security, sustainability, and leadership.”

CARRINGTON ROBERTSON, Montgomery County 4-H

“I was dealt a wonderful hand of people who have made everything I have done possible. My family has always supported me, and so has the Clarke County 4-H Team. I have accomplished so much in the past 10 years, and I would not have it any other way. 4-H projects, clubs, and people have changed me for the better. I cannot wait to see what comes next!
