New Horizon 4-H Alumni Award

Scotts Bluff County 4-H has many volunteers that are recent 4-H alumni. 4-H has made an impact on their lives so they have decided to give back to the program as volunteers and are already making a difference in the 4-H program. If this describes someone you know who is making an impact on the 4-H program, let the Extension Office know.
