Jason Babcock is receiving Lancaster County 4-H’s February “Heart of 4-H Award” in recognition of outstanding volunteer service. For 10 years, Jason has helped set up and take down cages for the 4-H poultry show at the Lancaster County Super Fair. He currently is a robotics project leader with the N-Bots 4-H club and helps coach club members with the FIRST Tech Challenge curriculum and competitions. Previously, he was an archery coach for the Lincoln Shooting Stars 4-H club.
Jason said, “I enjoy helping the students look at problems as opportunities to develop options they can choose from. Sometimes there is not one correct answer, and I help them see that with every decision they make, there are positive and negative consequences. Seeing the satisfaction the students receive after working hard at something for a long time, with its ups and downs, can be very satisfying.”
