4-H volunteer for eight years, Nicole is the leader of The Green Explorers 4-H club, and previously led The Zookeepers club for 4-H'ers ages 5-7. She has also helped in 4-H Council's food booth at the Lancaster County Super Fair.

"I like being a 4-H volunteer because it's a fun and rewarding opportunity to work with kids and see them get excited about projects they work hard on throughout the year," Nicole says. "My favorite experience as a 4-H volunteer is meeting with kids in the club at our monthly meetings and learning about a new project for 4-H that the kids and I learn from. Then, seeing the excitement from the kids when they see those projects exhibited and rewarded at the fair."
