Julia Smith
Julia grew up on an eighth generation cash crop farm in Ancaster. Currently, she attends Wilfrid Laurier and Nipissing Universities and is in the concurrent education program. This year she is in a school placement as a student teacher in grades four and five. Next year with school she hopes to travel to Kenya to teach children for three weeks. It's her goal to teach youth after graduatation.
Since joining Junior Farmers four years ago, she has become very involved locally and provincially. Wentworth JF was inactive for a number of years and she jumped into the challenging role of president in her first year in a reorganizing club. Provincially, she has been on the golf tournament committee and corresponds with the executive, event committees and members as office administrator. This year she is chairing the Leadership Camp and Sing Swing committees. She is proud to be a Junior Farmer member because there is such a strong feeling of community within the organization. Which other youth organization has members that travel hours across the province to support fundraising efforts?
In her free time she likes to travel, square dance, and volunteer. She has enjoyed hosting international delegates in the past and look forward to the opportunities that Junior Farmers brings in the future. |
