(Radio Iowa) - Iowans might spot a few tractors in school parking lots this week as part of National 4-H Week.
Emily Saveraid is executive director of the Iowa 4-H Foundation, which she says has more than a hundred years of history in the Hawkeye State.
The organization now reaches more than 120-thousand young people in Iowa every year, and she says it's grown well beyond just appealing to farm kids, offering them the skills they need to be successful as they move forward for whatever's next. She says 4-H is empowering Iowa's youth to reach their full potential and creating a real impact on the state.
