Jen has volunteered with 4-H for nearly five years. She is organizational leader of the Fantastic 4 4-H club which recently held a blanket drive (see back page). Last year, she presented two Clover College workshops and volunteered at 4-H Council's food booth at the Lancaster County Fair. Jen has also helped at Style Revue judging, Kiwanis Karnival and the 4-H Kick Off.

"I truly love helping youth discover ways to give back to their communities -- guiding them through and around barriers to empower them to follow their hearts and make their dreams a reality," says Jen. "My favorite experience as a 4-H volunteer was driving down our neighborhood street and seeing collection bags on so many doorsteps. I was moved to tears to see how many people donated to this community service in these difficult times."
