4-H IS...

Learning by doing, and is available to all boys and
girls, 8 years old and in the 3rd grade through 18
years old as of August 31st of each year, from
urban, suburban, and rural areas. First, an adult
leader brings together youth that have common
interests. Second, the youth choose one or more
projects. Projects are chosen from over thirty
project areas offered. Third, the group enrolls as
a club, and forth, meets together to learn and have
FUN. Clubs are able to explore 4-H activities,
events, and trips. In 4-H, there are events
happening all year round.

In support of the 4-H Club Motto,
To Make the Best Better, I pledge
my HEAD to clearer thinking,

my HANDS to larger service,
my HEALTH to better living,

information I can, to help him/her see things
clearly, and to make wise decisions.
I pledge my HEART to encourage and support
my child no matter whether he/she has
successes or disappointments.
I pledge my HANDS to help my child's club; if
I cannot be a leader, I can help in many
equally important ways.
I pledge my HEALTH to keep my child strong
and well for a better world, through 4-H, for
my child's club, our community, our country,
and our world.
