Four years ago, she started the JP2 Crew 4-H club and is the organizational leader. The club was named a Nebraska 4-H Club of Excellence in 2016, which means it met criteria such as choosing/electing youth officers and completing at least one community-service project together. Megan has also helped with the county Life Challenge contest and helped write comments for Clover Kids exhibits at the Lancaster County Super Fair.

“I enjoy seeing the kids’ enthusiasm to learn something new," she says. “I started the 4-H club because I had been in 4-H when I was younger and I wanted my children to have those same positive experiences.”
