Deb has volunteered with 4-H for about seven years. She is currently superintendent for the 4-H & FFA Sheep show at the Lancaster County Super Fair. She has a son who is an independent 4-H member and Deb likes to get others who do not have the time commitment for traditional 4-H clubs to still become involved.
Deb says, "I like being a 4-H volunteer because it is a great way to meet people and an opportunity to help the kids get involved with livestock and the community. I work for University of Nebraska–Lincoln and like to get youth interested in the opportunities the University gives them to continue their talents and interest in animals as an adult. My favorite experience as a 4-H volunteer is the great support and interactions the parents, kids, and staff have in the sheep division! We have a great bunch to work with and the extension staff make it a pleasure to volunteer."
