Amanda Meyer (Germantown), Spencer Mueller (Germantown), and Holly Elsinger (Slinger) have been selected as the Washington County Wisconsin 4-H Key Award winners for this year.
The prestigious Key Award, one of the highest recognition a 4-H member can receive, honors a select group of 4-H participants annually. The youth receiving this award are ones who have demonstrated consistent growth in their 4-H involvement, developed and applied their leadership skills, and actively participated in their club and community.
According to Washington County 4-H Educator Ron Jakubisin, this year’s winners exemplify the goals and values of the Wisconsin 4-H Program. “These youth have demonstrated dedication, responsibility, and a desire to help others. Their achievements reflect the opportunities 4-H provides for young people to grow as leaders, build confidence, and make a difference in their communities,” said Ron.
Key Award recipients are high school students with at least three years of experience in 4-H and one year as a youth leader. The Wisconsin Farm Bureau and Rural Mutual Insurance Company sponsor the Wisconsin 4-H Key Award program. They have sponsored these awards for over 25 years, helping 4-H to honor some of Wisconsin’s finest youth.
