P. Steven Futch

P. Steven Futch has been involved in 4-H since 1958. He is a role model for youth in Bradford County. Futch and Jones Funeral Home have provided 4-H calendars every year for 40 years. This not only makes 4-H more visible in the community, but it also sends a message to the 4-H community that business care about young people and what they are doing.

Futch always finds time to help out 4-H by supporting the foundation’s fund-raising events. He offers encouragement to 4-Hers telling them they can do whatever they set their mind to do. Futch is truly a friend of 4-H and even with his busy schedule he always finds time to drop in and see how things are going and to find out what might need his help.

“4-H has helped me want to be a better role model for youth,” Futch said. Futch serves on the Bradford County 4-H Foundation Scholarship Committee. He has helped at the local Tropicana Speech Competition for many years and supported the 4-H Strawberry Auction which helps raise funds for 4-H Scholarship awards.

Futch said “ 4-H has influenced many young persons’ character in this Community by being a good example of how to study, work and live together. In a small community such as ours, 4-H is a force of motivation in our young people. The work ethics which are learned through 4-H are used for the rest of your life.”
