SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – Debbie Pankau, recently hired as a 4-H youth education assistant, is working hard to help University of Missouri Extension with 4-H youth education in Lawrence County.

Name/title: Debbie Pankau, 4-H youth education assistant

Headquartered in: Lawrence County Courthouse, Mt. Vernon, Mo.

Coverage area: Verona

Job Responsibilities:  Secretary at Verona Elementary School and 4-H youth education assistant

How does your work impact residents of Lawrence County?  “By helping our children learn to develop life skills and grow as a good citizen of our community,” said Pankau.
 
What are some goals you have for the coming year? “To be more informed in the project area and what the club members need to do to get their projects to the fair and to present them in the correct manner.  I would like to build my next year’s program to incorporate the fundamentals of 4-H,” said Pankau.

Is there a group you are targeting for your services?  All children in grades K-6 are welcome.

Where are residents of southwest Missouri most likely to see you? In my free time I go to auctions, horse shows, rodeos, green houses and horseback riding at area trails.
