California 4-H
Erika is a California 4-H volunteer and a mother of two children who both participate in 4-H. Here’s her story:
“4-H is very important to me, and gives me the opportunity to help my community. It is also an opportunity to support my two children in educational programs. I volunteer at many events in my community and I try to set a good example to my children. Sharing with others our time and talents is the best way to help! . . . We have two clubs and our vision is to open more! Ours is a small community with a large number of Hispanic and low-income students; 4-H will help many families!
THANKS 4-H!”
"El programa ayudara a muchas familias. ¡GRACIAS 4-H!" - Erika, California 4-H
