A 4-H volunteer for more than 15 years, Sharlyn is a member of 4-H Council and currently is the 4-H Council representative on the Extension Board. She assists with Happy Go Lucky 4-H club member projects such as food and nutrition, sewing, and cattle. Sharlyn also volunteers at the Lancaster County Super Fair, helping with static exhibits, Style Revue and 4-H food booth.
"I was in 4-H and gained so much through it," says Sharlyn. "I love being able to share my passion with youth. It is very rewarding to watch the kids grow and progress with their skills through the projects. Years ago, I volunteered to judge the bucket calf show at a local county fair. It was one of my most memorable and entertaining experiences I have encountered through volunteering. I truly feel that 4-H offers something for everyone regardless of their background or talents. Through 4-H, youth have the opportunity to learn and to be successful."
