Esther
Janes has made 4-H an educational experience for more
than 1,500 boys and girls during her 41 years of volunteer
service to 4-H youth and adults. Her 8,000 hours of
volunteer leadership have encouraged young people
to explore higher education and assume responsible
positions. Perhaps her success can be attributed to
her belief that each young person is unique and her
desire is that each youth learn a skill and share
it with someone else. She describes a 4-H member as
being like “a pebble tossed in a stream,” the positive
impact can go on forever. It is evident that Esther
Jane's positive impact will be felt for a long time.

more than 21 years. She also serves on the Clinton

significant contributions to Clinton County 4-H. She
was one of the founders of the 4-H food service fund
raiser at the Clinton County Fair which raised more
then $150,000 over 18 years. She is a positive, fair-minded
and caring person who generates enthusiasm among all
who work and share responsibilities with her.
