Kaci has served Orange County for 20 years and developed a program that is strong in traditional 4-H programs such as clubs, camps, and agricultural education events.  She coaches teams for 4-H Food Challenge, Junior Stockman's and Dairyman's, and Youth Cattle Working, and provides leadership training to teen counselors, club officers, and school enrichment groups. Kaci supports hundreds of long- and short-term volunteers who ensure events like the Orange County Fair, 4-H TACO (Therapeutic Adventure Camp of Orange), and school field trips occur, and she partners with youth-serving agencies to offer outdoor education and youth childhood obesity prevention programs.
