🌟 Santa Cruz County 4-H youth learning leadership at the Arizona State Capitol!

Last week, three outstanding 4-H members represented our community at the State Capitol. Gracie Zerbel (Sonoita, 4-H Mustang Club), Jasmin Lillywhite (Nogales, 4-H Rattlesnakes Club), and Ian Corona (Rio Rico, 4-H Rattlesnakes Club) joined 27 fellow 4-H members from across Arizona to learn more about civic engagement, leadership, and how government works.

During their visit, the delegates met with Arizona Director of Agriculture Paul Brierley to learn about current agricultural issues and state policies. They also toured the State Capitol and met with Senator Tim Dunn, Senator David Gowan, and Senator Rosanna Gabaldon to learn about the legislative process, ask questions, and share about their experiences in 4-H.

We are proud of these young leaders for representing Santa Cruz County and continuing to grow as engaged citizens and future leaders. 🍀👏
