Mentors are the foundation of our youth’s success! Become a Mentor for a 4-H’er and watch the confidence of a young person bloom as you help them achieve their 4-H dreams and develop skills for a lifetime!
“My 4-H Mentor is my county agent, Mrs. Teresa Chauncey. Mrs. Teresa has always pushed me to be the best I can be, and she’s encouraged me to step outside of my comfort zone and pursue my goals, while doing whatever she can to help me achieve them. I wouldn’t be where I am today without her, and I am so thankful for the impact she’s made on my life!”
– Lindsey Steedley
