The Ohio 4-H Foundation Board Member Highlight: Natalyn Landis

by

Natalyn Landis has been an Ohio 4-H Foundation Board Member since 2015.  Natalyn is looking forward to graduating from Bloom-Carroll High School this year and heading to Ohio University in the fall to study Education.

Natalyn applied for and received a $150 mini-grant from My Hands to Larger Service, a grant provided through the Ohio 4-H Foundation. My Hands to Larger Service was designed to encourage 4-H members’ efforts towards performing larger acts of service.  In the last three years, 60 4-H youth  received funds to provide service to their community.

Natalyn’s project, a 5K Walk for Life, raised over $1,000 for children suffering from pediatric cancer at Nationwide Children’s Hospital.
