Wendy Wulf’s lifelong dedication to Scott County 4-H embodies the true spirit of service and community. From her earliest days as a 4-H member to her ongoing role as a volunteer and mentor, Wendy has been a guiding force for youth and families navigating the program. Even before her children reached 4-H age, she was already giving her time, ensuring that new members and parents understood the ins and outs of rules, deadlines, and opportunities.
Known as the go-to resource for families needing guidance, Wendy has helped countless participants succeed in 4-H by offering her knowledge and support. Her patience, kindness, and deep understanding of the program have made her an invaluable mentor to parents and members alike.
Beyond her work in education and advocacy, Wendy has found another way to give back—capturing moments that matter. At the Mississippi Valley Fair, she dedicates hours to photographing 4-H members as they showcase their hard work and achievements. She then edits and provides these images free of charge, ensuring every member has a lasting memory of their experience.
Wendy’s philosophy is simple yet profound: "I do this for others so someday someone will do the same for my children." Her unwavering commitment and generosity have left an indelible mark on Scott County 4-H, strengthening the community and inspiring others to pay it forward. Wendy’s contributions remind us that the heart of 4-H isn’t just in the projects—it’s in the people who dedicate themselves to making a difference.
