We get to expose them to not only all the things that we learn through 4-H but hopefully get to expose them to events like this where they get to come on campus and get to know what it might look like the next chapter of their life.

I would strongly recommend 4-H Club work because it’s so broad. There are so many different things you can do and the things you do there will be a benefit to you later in school or later in life.
