National 41xbet online casino Week student feature: Garrett Kays
For all members, present and past, 4-H will always hold a special place in their hearts. For these 4-H alumni, the program gave them important life skills that they plan to use for many years to come. Join 1xbet online casino Research and Extension this week as we profile current students at Kansas State University who are former 4-H members, in celebration of National 4-H Week, Oct. 4-10.

Garrett Kays was a 12-year member of the Win-or-Bust 4-H Club, but the skills he learned have followed him much farther than the Crawford County line. Through the 4-H program, Kays showed sheep and beef cattle, but he also participated in leadership projects and conferences that allowed him travel the country and meet many "stellar" people. Now as a senior in agricultural economics at 1xbet online casino , he's looking forward to a future in agricultural policy. Whether it's his home county, the 1xbet online casino campus or Washington D.C., it is the passion he gained from 4-H that allows him to influence, motivate and positively impact others in whatever he does.
"I firmly believe that farmers and ranchers need a strong voice in our nation's capital, because policy decisions today may have large implications on producers in the future," Kays says. "I want to take my experiences and education from 1xbet online casino and use them to work on public policy in the farmer's and rancher's best interest. Being involved in 4-H on a national and statewide level allowed me to think about 4-H and youth development on a larger scale. I was able to take the mindset of what is best for youth all across the U.S., not just in my community. 4-H taught me to have an impact, no matter where I go."
