đź’šLAUREN Lauren- Interview- Audio Please share a little bit about yourself, and a little bit about how you first became involved with 4-H programs. My name is Lauren Nance, now Lauren Case. I am 45 years old. I'm a lifelong resident of Providence, Rhode Island- even though I moved away for a few years. I started doing 4-H, I would say probably around 5 or 6 years old, and there was a woman in our neighborhood that ran a 4-H club in her basement. She invited me and my mom (Connie) to come over. My mom and I thought it was a great idea and then when she (her name was Claudia) decided she didn't want to run the program anymore, my mom took over. From that point, 4-H was a part of my life up until about age 17. That's my 4-H experience in a nutshell. What was it that made you choose to be involved in 4-H as a youth or stay involved with 4-H? I really didn't have much of a choice. You know my mom. My mom lead it- they referred to our our program as the
A 4-H Community Memoir- curated with care, starting with 4-H youth who were active from the mid-1980s to mid-1990s.
