🐝 PARTNERSHIP SPOTLIGHT: JONES COUNTY 4-H! 🌱⭐

We are proud to shine this week’s Partnership Spotlight on Jones County 4-H, an organization dedicated to helping youth and volunteers grow through hands-on learning, leadership, and educational opportunities.

Through programs rooted in the knowledge and education of land-grant universities, 4-H gives young people the opportunity to learn valuable skills, build confidence, and become active members of their communities.
