Lancaster County 4-H is proud to announce Danetta Jensen as winner of November’s “Heart of 4-H Award” in recognition of outstanding volunteer service.

Danetta has been a parent volunteer for seven years. She is now leader of the newly reorganized Star City Llama & Alpaca 4-H club, which she helped rebuild. “I enjoy working with the youth and watching their confidence in themselves grow as they achieve their goals,” she says. “I enjoy watching the excitement of the 4-H’ers when their animal accepts an obstacle and maneuvers it willingly.”

Congratulations to Danetta. Learn more.
