We are excited to welcome Nicole Marshall-Wheeler back to Butte County 4-H, as the new Regional 4-H Youth Development Advisor (4-H Advisor)!

Nicole is a past Butte County 4-Her and previously held the role of Butte County 4-H Program Representative (4-H Community Education Specialist) from 2016-2018. In 2018, she became the 4-H Advisor for Colusa, Sutter, and Yuba Counties and has held that position to date. Starting July 1^st, 2022, Nicole will become the 4-H Regional Advisor serving Butte, Colusa, and Glenn Counties.

While Nicole’s responsibilities as a 4-H Advisor are academic in nature (think program evaluation, research, and developing new programming), some of her favorite things to do as a 4-H professional are connecting with 4-H Volunteers, supporting 4-H Camp, and learning new ways to engage older youth.
