Florida 4-H Hall of Fame

Nancy Alward Roberts

Nancy Alward Roberts is a 4-H alumna who keeps on giving even though she left 4-H member status a long time ago. She is a strong financial supporter of 4-H programs and uses the Allstate matching gifts program to maximize her contributions. Roberts is also a past 4-H agent who helped many youth make it to state and national 4-H events.  She is a high achiever within her profession and has won many awards. As a 4-H agent Roberts took pride in bringing young people through the ranks of 4-H and helping them achieve dreams on their own. As an alumna she is one of the single greatest and consistent individual donors to the 4-H program in Collier County. Since 1981 she has sponsored the leadership, animal science, citizenship and recognition programs. She never misses a livestock auction or 4-H awards program. Roberts is truly a shining example of devotion to America’s 4-H youth. “I learned entrepreneurship through 4-H. Many of the business skills I use today began developing during my 4-H career. Record keeping, public speaking, perseverance, discipline, responsibility - I honed them all in 4-H,” Roberts said.
