Peggy and Kenny have volunteered with the Star City Llama/Alpaca 4-H club for about ten years. Peggy is a co-leader of the club. They help with the Lancaster County adopt a llama/alpaca program, making llamas and alpacas available to youth who don't have a way to keep them. The Stewards also help club members take llamas and alpacas to schools, nursing homes, and churches to educate the public and as community service.

The Stewards are show sponsors of the 4-H Llama/Alpaca show at the Lancaster County Super Fair. They have built and acquired obstacles for the fair performance classes. They are also superintendents of the Open Class Llama show.

"We like being 4-H volunteers because we enjoy watching the kids learn about the llamas and alpacas," Peggy and Kenny say. "Watching the faces of the 4-H'ers when they accomplish a task and the pride they take when we have taught them about the animal and they are able to educate the public."
