Recently, the White House invited 4-H’ers to join Vice President Kamala Harris on the tarmac of Westfield-Barnes Regional Airport in Westfield, MA for an official visit. A group of 33 Massachusetts 4-H youth and volunteers, proudly represented the 4-H community, receiving gratitude and encouragement from the Vice President. This recognition highlights the importance of 4-H in nurturing future leaders and fostering a strong, vibrant America.
This opportunity was made possible by the leadership of Dr. Bill Miller, Massachusetts Extension Director, Meaghan McDermott, Massachusetts 4-H State Program Leader, and the support of National 4-H Council.
