Jean has volunteered about five years with Lancaster County 4-H, and before that, about five years with Seward County 4-H.
In this county, Jean has helped in various ways: a project leader for the 4-H Explorers club | 4-H Clover College instructor and volunteer | co-superintendent of the 4-H Poultry Show at the Lancaster County Super Fair | volunteered at the 4-H Food Booth at Super Fair.
"I like being a 4-H volunteer because it keeps me actively involved with my kids," Jean says. "My favorite experience as a 4-H volunteer is definitely county fair. From the hustle and rush of getting projects and animals ready and in on time, to the hours spent just hanging out with family and other 4-H friends during each day of the fair."
