As an alumnus,
I take the time to give back to youth agricultural programs that
help young people to understand and experience agriculture. I
volunteer with a local 4-H club, assisting kids with their own

gets college students agvocating for animal agriculture online
and in person about animal agriculture. Additionally, through my

opportunity to interact with consumers and agricultural producers
to help them better understand agricultural and
livestock
