Lancaster County 4‑H members Ethan and Morgan Gabe were part of an 11-member Nebraska delegation attending the National 4‑H Congress in Atlanta, Ga. on Nov. 29–Dec. 3. National 4‑H Congress is the premier leadership event for 4‑H’ers 15–19 years old. Nebraska delegates are selected for National 4‑H Congress by submitting an Achievement Application for state competition.
In Atlanta, participants attended numerous educational workshops, cultural events and completed service-learning projects. Ethan helped at the Benteen Elementary school with cleanup and organization of storage rooms while Morgan helped out at Oakland Historic Cemetery with landscaping.
Morgan said, “I got to make friends, spend time with all the Nebraska delegates and be with so many people from all around the country who encourage leadership, service, having fun, learning and all the important 4‑H qualities.”
