Pilsen Skylighters member Megan Salentine is in the twilight of her career as a youth member of 4-H, but you can be sure she is far from being done with the organization. While juggling the end of her senior year at Luxemburg-Casco High School and the start of her undergrad work at St. Norbert College, Salentine was one of several members of the National 4-H Congress Youth Design Team. For a year, Salentine held court with fellow design team members from around the country both in-person and virtually to ensure last month’s National 4-H Congress in Atlanta was another success. She said it was a fantastic experience to meet so many 4-H members from around the country and to see them enjoy the events she helped coordinate.

While the National 4-H Congress could be considered the last hurrah for Salentine and other members who will age out of the organization next fall, she plans on being as involved as she can be while attending classes. After participating in her final Kewaunee County Fair this upcoming summer, Salentine is excited to stick with 4-H in Kewaunee County as a volunteer.
