A volunteer for nearly eight years, Rhonda helps with several 4-H clubs: 4-H Explorers, Pick-a-Pig and NBots Robotics. She is a regular instructor at 4-H Clover College. At the Lancaster County Super Fair, Rhonda has helped with static exhibit setup, the 4-H/FFA swine show and at 4-H Council’s food booth. In addition, she has helped with Earth Wellness Festival for 5th graders and Nebraska 4-H’s statewide Premier Animal Science Event (PASE).
“I enjoy sharing my enthusiasm and skills with the young people of our community,” says Rhonda. “My favorite experience as a 4-H volunteer is teaching classes at Clover College in June. No matter what I’m teaching, each class is unique because of the students who attend. Everyone can bring something wonderful and unique to the class, which can be shared with others so that we all benefit from each other.”
"I love the variety of learning opportunities for kids in 4-H, from cooking & sewing, to woodworking to table setting contest, presentations, robotics, public service announcements, to showing livestock. Being part of 4-H has enhanced the lives of everyone in our home!”
