Lancaster County 4-H is proud to announce Nicole Miller of Lincoln as winner of the August “Heart of 4-H Award” in recognition of outstanding volunteer service.
For three years, she has taught workshops at 4-H Clover College, teaching youth how to decorate glass bottles and plates with a variety of techniques. Nicole is willing to help as needed, such as assisting with a 4-H club meeting. As a member of the Lancaster County Extension Board since 2022, she helps provide direction for Extension’s program areas, including the 4-H youth development program.
“I love watching children create art and items that they can share with their families, as well as exhibit at the Lancaster County Super Fair,” Nicole says. “My favorite experience as a 4-H volunteer is when children and young people support each other in their creative endeavors and when trying new things. I see it at Clover College when children encourage the person they are sitting next to, or standing by at the glue station, to try a different design or add a new material to their art. By serving on the Extension Board, I feel I am part of a network of people who care about improving our quality of life and educating children through 4-H, agriculture, healthy lifestyles, teamwork and a host of other positive experiences.”
