Are you thinking about your 2017 goals yet?
It takes a lot of volunteer leaders to help the 4-H in different projects. While we have great leaders in Harvey County, we need even more people to dedicate a few hours a month to invest in our youth. So, here’s a list of leaders needed. Maybe you can help us in 2017 or you know someone who could volunteer, too.
