Each year, student interns join the 4-H staff at Nebraska Extension in Lancaster County and provide much needed assistance during the summer. In addition to the interns helping with the 4-H club program (introduced in the July Nebline), this year, two interns, Jovonna Alatriste and Natalya Solorio, are part of the 4-H Teens as Teachers program and working with Tracy Anderson in 4-H outreach and education. Their focus is on engaging new Lancaster County audiences through hands-on 4-H activities in areas such as STEM and Home Environment. Jovonna and Natalya are new to the 4-H community. They just graduated from North Star High School and plan to attend Southeast Community College in the fall.
