"I like being a 4-H volunteer because of the wonderful lifelong impact that is grown in youth," says Cathy. "When youth accomplish their goals in 4-H, their faces show what their heart is feeling. My favorite experiences as a 4-H volunteer is being part of the excitement of the Lancaster County Super Fair. There is such a tremendous amount of learning that takes place, that it is fun to be around. The staff at Lancaster County Extension are tremendous people and help create a welcoming environment for anyone interested in volunteering."
