Testimonials
Because of 4-H, I decided to choose a career and life in Agriculture. I plan to finish college, and then move back to Clark to run my family’s ranch.
~Justin Heid, 2023 4-H scholarship recipient
As a student studying agriculture, I greatly appreciate the Routt County 4-H program and everything it has done for me throughout my time as a member and in my life.
~Jess Diehl, 2023 4-H scholarship recipient
The passion I have for 4H and all the program has taught me will stay with me throughout my time at CSU, my professional career, and the rest of my life.
~Emily Howe, 2023 4-H scholarship recipient
There is no doubt I wouldn’t be where I am today if it weren’t for my upbringing and support of Routt County 4-H, and I aim to give back to youth by eventually becoming a 4-H leader and coach.
~Emmitt Meyring, 2023 4-H scholarship recipient
4-H will forever be relevant. 4-H is raising the next generation of farmers, ranchers, engineers, and leaders in America. I feel beyond blessed that I was lucky enough to be one of the youth, impacted and raised by 4-H.
~Leona Thurston 2022 4-H scholarship recipient
