Coweta 4-H Volunteer of the Month: Amanda Scott!
Coweta County 4-H is proud to recognize Amanda Scott as our September Volunteer of the Month!
As our new Horse & Pony Club Leader, Amanda is helping create opportunities for youth to learn new skills, discover their passions, and grow in confidence. Her enthusiasm for working with youth and encouraging them to step outside their comfort zones makes her a wonderful addition to the Coweta County 4-H family.
Amanda says:
“I love being part of Coweta County 4-H and working with the kids. What I enjoy most is working with the kids and being around others who truly enjoy helping them grow. I love watching the kids learn new skills, discover things they are passionate about, and gain the confidence to step outside of their comfort zones.”
She also wants other potential volunteers to know:
“You do not have to be an expert or have a lot of extra time to volunteer. There are many different ways to help, and even giving a small amount of your time can make a difference.”
Thank you, Amanda, for all you do for Coweta County 4-H! 💚
