York County 4-H’er gives back to her community
By Diane Palmer
The York County Crisis Pregnancy Center benefited because 4-H’er Laura Deas wanted to give back to her community.
Deas, 17, collected baby items from community organizations and donated them to the center as her 4-H citizenship and leadership project. She also painted two of the center’s rooms and asked her 4-H sewing club to make blankets for the center.
A homeschooler, Deas has been a 4-H member for eight years. She said she has gained self confidence and become a teen leader because of her 4-H experiences. She is involved in many other 4-H projects, including teaching younger members.
