It’s Thankful Thursday, and this one is for the people who make 4-H possible. 💚
Union County 4-H has a long and incredible history, but that history isn’t just made up of programs, ribbons, camps, competitions, and events. It’s made up of people.
It’s the club leader who gives up an evening to teach a new skill. The parent who drives to one more meeting. The volunteer who shows up year after year. The mentor who encourages a 4-H’er when they’re nervous. The educator who shares their knowledge. The farmer or business owner who opens their doors to a group of curious kids. The community partner who says, “Yes, we’d love to help.”
To our volunteers, parents, mentors, educators, Extension staff, club leaders, community partners, guest speakers, and every person who has poured their time, knowledge, patience, and love into our 4-H’ers: thank you.
You may not always get to see the impact of the time you give, but it matters. You help young people discover what they’re capable of, find people who believe in them, and create memories they may carry with them for the rest of their lives.
For 4-H for Good Thursday, help us celebrate someone who has made a difference in your 4-H journey. Share their name or a favorite memory in the comments, or make your own post and tag us for a chance to be entered into our 4-H swag drawing!
4-H Fun Fact! In 1989, 4-H went to space! Astronaut Mary Cleave carried a 4-H flag aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis. 🚀🍀
