A volunteer for five years, Bridget is a parent volunteer for the Amazing Treasurers 4-H club, helping members with numerous static exhibit projects such as sewing, woodwork, posters and science experiments. She helped start the Egg Basket poultry club. At the Lancaster County Super Fair, Bridget helps with the 4-H poultry show, assists youth showing meat goats and volunteers at the 4-H food stand.
“I like being a 4-H volunteer because it reminds me of being a kid again and the many memories I shared with other 4-H members that turned into lifelong friends,” she says. “And, nothing will ever replace the look on a 4-H’ers face when they receive their ribbon. I would never have became the person I am today without the many 4-H volunteers I had. Just imagine how your hobby or passion can make such an influence in a young person’s life!”
