Jill has helped with the 4-H home environment areas at the Lancaster County Super Fair for eight years — five years as a superintendent. She has also helped with furniture painting workshops and 4-H Clover College tie dye classes.
“Being a 4-H volunteer gives me a chance to share with kids things that I love to do,” says Jill. “I have always enjoyed arts and crafts and working with kids. My favorite experience as a 4-H volunteer is working one-on-one at the furniture painting workshops, teaching the kids a new painting technique and then watching them perfect it. I love how proud the kids are of their finished project and excited to have something to take to the fair. I have enjoyed teaching and watching these kids grow over the years.”
