Jason Babcock is receiving Lancaster County 4‑H’s February “Heart of 4‑H Award” in recognition of outstanding volunteer service. For 10 years, Jason has helped set up and take down cages for the 4‑H poultry show at the Lancaster County Super Fair. He currently is a robotics project leader with the N-Bots 4‑H club and helps coach club members with the FIRST Tech Challenge curriculum and competitions. Previously, he was an archery coach for the Lincoln Shooting Stars 4‑H club.
Jason said, “I enjoy helping the students look at problems as opportunities to develop options they can choose from. Sometimes there is not one correct answer, and I help them see that with every decision they make, there are positive and negative consequences. Seeing the satisfaction the students receive after working hard at something for a long time, with its ups and downs, can be very satisfying.”
