During her 13 years in the Prosperity 4-H Club in Jefferson County, Manville worked her way through various projects and officer roles in the club and county council, led youth as a county ambassador and camp counselor, and represented Jefferson County at numerous events, including Kansas Youth Leadership Forum, Citizenship in Action, regional conferences, and at Discovery Days as a delegate and CREW member. She is an alumna of the Alpha of Clovia 4-H Scholarship House at Kansas State University.
