Elizabeth “Liz” Sparks is the 4-H Youth Development Associate Agent of Tucson Village Farm. She is the faculty lead for the farm and all of its programming. Liz is responsible for overseeing all of the operations and programs of the farm so while she has to develop new programming, seek funding opportunities and source donations, her real passion is exposing young people to nature, adventure and experiences which she still gets to do sometimes.
