About Me
As a Cherokee County resident for most of my life and Cherokee County 4-H alum, I have seen firsthand the impact 4-H can have on youth. I am passionate about helping young people discover their interests, build leadership skills, and reach their full potential while supporting volunteers who make these opportunities possible.

4-H Youth Development

What the four H's stand for on the Clover

These experiences help youth build self-confidence, develop self-esteem, and grow into capable young leaders. Along the way, they also create lasting friendships and memories that can stay with them for a lifetime.

HEAD

Critical thinking, problem solving.

HEART

Self-discipline, integrity, communication.

HANDS

Serving our community and others.

HEALTH

Choosing healthy lifestyles.

The Network of Families that Grow Great Kids

4-H is a unique organization, in that it is the only youth development organization with oversight and sponsorship by the federal government. At the federal level, 4-H is administered by the United States Department of Agriculture, through the National Institute of Food and Agriculture.

4-H is a membership of youth across Kansas learning leadership, citizenship, and life skills. Caring adults that support our programs are essential for youth to achieve their potential based on knowledge, guidance, respect, and skills they share with our youth.
