Over the past few years, Young has sponsored 4-H as the school counselor at her elementary school by setting up eight separate 4-H clubs (by class) with all fourth-and fifth-graders, totaling approximately 200 students.
As a 4-H leader, she organizes competitions and works to secure others to volunteer. Her clubs have participated in the 4-H days for football and basketball.
