Tennessee 4-H volunteers were awarded for their dedication to 4-H during the 98th Tennessee 4-H Roundup, July 19-23, 2021 at UT Martin.
Volunteers are at the heart of 4-H. They are making a difference in communities across the state, and motivating others to be involved in 4-H as well. The Tennessee 4-H Awards and Recognition program offers several opportunities for counties to recognize 4-H volunteers. You probably have several deserving nominees in your county.
