Kelly has volunteered with 4-H for nearly five years and is the organizational leader for the Amazing Treasures 4-H Club. The club does many community service projects such as collecting animal supplies to give to the Humane Society and picking up trash in their community park.
"I get to work with a great group of kids that take pride in their projects," Kelly says. "It's maybe not so fun when crunch time comes, but in the end the kids are very proud of the things they have accomplished. It is amazing all the things that are learned. We each learn different things even when working on the same project. I am learning with them! My favorite experience as a 4-H volunteer was working on our group project this year. The kids came up with creating a memory board as our group project. They turned out super neat! Every one of the kids completed this project and everyone age 8 and up had their boards selected for State Fair. We had fun working together!"
