Help Us Welcome Our York County 4-H Summer Intern!

We are incredibly excited to welcome Bailey Hall as our summer intern! A life long 4-H youth member, now giving back to the program that helped shape her leadership, confidence, and passion for helping others. Throughout the summer, she will help mentor, teach, and inspire the next generation of 4-H youth across our community.

Opportunities like this are possible because of the incredible support of our local 4-H program through annual donations and the support shown at the 4-H Food Stand during the fair. Your generosity allows us to provide meaningful opportunities for youth to learn, lead, and grow in a safe and supportive environment.

Your support helps create hands-on learning experiences that build confidence, leadership, life skills, and a sense of belonging for youth throughout York County.

Thank you for investing in young people and helping us continue to grow future leaders right here at home. The impact of your support reaches far beyond the fairgrounds.
