 Day-to-day activities

Renee is responsible for reaching youth, ages 5-18, through programs and activities that teach life skills, which are developed from research based education, incorporate hands-on learning experiences, and helps develop young people into productive citizens. Additionally, she works with and trains adult volunteers to extend the 4-H program throughout the citry.  Renee enjoys seeing the sparkle in the eyes of youth when they accomplish a goal.  This can be seen when delivering a public speech, completing a sewing project, growing a plant, or watching chicks crack open their shells; certainly they are working towards making the best better in their world.
