Ready to Bee the Change? 🐝 ([link removed] )

John, at 19, while many college students are adjusting to campus life, this 4‑H'er is already working to save the pollinators.

Meet Katie Culbert, a 4‑H youth who's not just passionate about bees — she's building a whole ecosystem around them. From founding a 4‑H beekeeping club to planting a 2,500 sq. ft. pollinator garden, she's proving that age is just a number and impact is a mindset.

🐝 She's earned her beekeeping certification.

🌼 She's partnered with the NJ Beekeepers' Association to fund scholarships.

📚 She's published research, launched a YouTube channel, and even helped write a native plant bill now in the NJ State Assembly and the NJS Senate.

Across the country, 4‑H youth like Katie are learning to lead, serve, and solve real‑world problems — from climate change to community health. 

BEE THE CHANGE 🐝 ([link removed] )

When you give to 4‑H, you're making it possible for the next generation of leaders — and beekeepers — to thrive.

You're the reason Katie could build a hive, plant a garden, and inspire a whole new swarm of young beekeepers (because, let's face it — the average beekeeper age is 55+, and she's here to shake things up).

Donate Today ([link removed] ) — Because the world needs more young leaders like Katie who are bee‑yond ready to turn passion into purpose and pollination into progress. 💚
